Word War vi is a traditional side-scrolling, '80s-style arcade game with shooting and attacking enemies as its primary objective.
The game is easy to control, with 'q' serving as the button to put in a quarter and start the game. You can use the arrow keys or the classic "vi's hjkl keys" to control your moves, while 'z' or spacebar works as the fire signal number -9 (lazer). Additionally, 'b' allows you to inject a NULL pointer into the execution stream, dropping a bomb, and 'c' lets you fork to evade pursuers (throws chaff). If you need to advance to a new level, you can use 'A' (this feature is mainly for debugging), and press '9' if you want to commit suicide (also just for debugging).
To play the game, you'll need to have certain requirements such as the gnome libraries and header files, the portaudio library, and the libsndfile library. This software is continuously improving, and the latest version comes preloaded with several amazing features. For example, there's an option to add --thicklines, which is now present in the man page, and some icons to make the gaming experience lively.
Additionally, this version keeps track of how many objects there are, giving you a slight boost to the achievable frame rates. You'll also notice some adjustments to the Linux-specific rumble code, a comment about a failed optimization attempt in find_free_obj(), and an exciting feature that allows bombs to bounce off of blimps. With these features and more, Word War vi promises to provide intense and engaging gameplay that'll keep you hooked for hours.
