How many people actually own a Zune, anyway heres a great new homebrew release for the Zune via coder Malkierian (http://www.zuneboards.com/forums/download-openzdk-applications/56995-hd-opentyrianhd-full-release.html)
Alright, folks, it's pretty much all finished up. This is the release thread, and version is now 1.0!
New with the release: Keyboard (http://www.zuneboards.com/forums/#) functionality now in-game! Go to the Keyboard Entry Wiki Page (http://code.google.com/p/opentyrianhd/wiki/KeyboardEntry) on Google Code to find out details (and also see explanations for the other keyboards (http://www.zuneboards.com/forums/#)).
Destruct is likely going to fall by the wayside, as there would be too much overhaul to it to make it worth it (I might as well rework it from the top-down, starting with the original OpenTyrian source code, which I'm not likely to do).
So, from now on, it's bugfixes only (which there should be relatively few of), and perhaps upstream updates from OpenTyrian. Unless someone has just such a fantastic idea that I have to implement it.
Grab it here: OpenTyrianHD 1.0 - Project hosting on Google Code (http://code.google.com/p/opentyrianhd/downloads/detail?name=OpenTyrianHD_1.0.zip)
P.S. I would love for someone to post a gameplay video...

Controls: (this is an actual screenshot, by the way).

The big black square over to the left is the trackpad. It is 208x210 in size, a wonderfully big bit (as big as I could get it http://www.zuneboards.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif).
Each button (except the keyboard and menu buttons) are 90x90. Those other two are 90x40 (so you don't accidentally hit them while trying to use the trackpad).
----------------------------------------------------------------
From OpenTyrian Gcode site:
OpenTyrian is a port of the DOS shoot-em-up Tyrian. Jason Emery generously gave the OpenTyrian developers a copy of the Tyrian 2.1 source code, which has since been ported from Turbo Pascal to C. The port uses SDL, making it easily cross-platform.

Tyrian is an arcade-style vertical scrolling shooter. The story is set in 20,031 where you play as Trent Hawkins, a skilled fighter-pilot employed to fight Microsol and save the galaxy.
