This is the SDL port and it use gl4es for 3D rendering.

The Keymap is
DPad to Move
{Y}/{X} for Throttle (in Air mode)
{B} for Missile
{A} for Special Weapon
{L} for Sidestep
{R} to Fire Laser
Backspace for mode switch (air/ground)
9 to switch view

Where did you get the source? I want to look at it.

I used this: https://github.com/hyperlogic/cylindrix

(the yaml sub-repo is gone, but I just used an already compiled libyaml and linked to it).

Heh, wasn't that long ago I tried to dig this out to try and get it playing on my PC. I never did find it.

Thanks

Just tested...and it's very frenetic action (tested @600 Mhz on my CC)...but a very good port (also with intro and animations).

Thanks

Thanks.

I must say I don't really know how to win in this game. I understand you have to paint the tower to your color, but the mean time of survival in that arena is too short...

Refreshed the package on the repo, with a new build and updated libs on the repo. Not much as changed. Still frenetic, still less then 1 min of survival time in the arena...
