Mathfacts contacted me a few days ago with news of his new project for the PSP

Heres the release info:


Installation:
Unzip and copy the folders spacewars and spacewars% to your psp\game directory or to your psp\game150 directory

Objective:
Shoot your opponent before he shoots you.


Controls:
See the screen shot below for the controls

Notes:
I wrote this intending to add IR or adhoc connectivity. I was able to add it but, performance was so bad it wasn't usable. So I sorta let this code rot. Recently I picked it back up and pulled out the connectivity code and made it work for two players on the same PSP by isolating the controls to each side. As a side thought I threw in some super simple AI for single player. It's nothing fancy, but maybe you'll get a little enjoyment out of it.

An old game called Star Control 2 (now the UrQuan Masters) has been ported to PSP, and does what yours does,plus alot more.

but keep up the good work,custom games keep the scene alive.

the basic premise of the game is one of the very first video games ever, named space war, which games like star control were based on
