NAME¶
slingshot - simple 2D shooting strategy game set in space, with gravity
SYNOPSIS¶
slingshot
DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page documents briefly the
slingshot command.
slingshot is a two dimensional, turn based simulation-strategy game set
in the gravity fields of several planets. It is a highly addictive game, and
never the same from round to round due to its randomly generated playing
fields.
It is a deceptively simple game, the goal is to shoot the other spacecraft
through the field of planets, but their gravity makes it tricky. The effects
of the gravity mean that although it's easy to learn how to play, and to enjoy
playing, it could take a lifetime to thoroughly master.
In order to hit your opponent, you can rotate you ship to aim in any direction,
and you can change the power with which your projectile is launched - the
initial speed at which it flies.
OPTIONS¶
This program has no command line options.
