Great Syphon - part 1 : Ship Builder
7 years ago

Created editor to combine ships from parts.


This is main part of a game - you build ship and see how it can withstand fleets of enemies.
And you can make it your own from many modules (lasers, cannons, beamers, electricity, missiles, flamers).

Now it can be played around - combine ship parts, move them around, scale, rotate (with origin changes) and change z-order.

Currently all dropped in one big pile. :)

Instructions:

  1. Esc - exit from app

  2. Drag with mouse ship parts on screen

  3. Shift + mouse movement - move origin (green/blue circle) of rotation

  4. F2 - save setup

  5. F3 - load setup

  6. A/D - rotate selected ship part

  7. W/S - scale up/down selected ship part

  8. Arrows - move selected ship part around

  9. Ctrl + Arrow Up/Down - move selected ship part z-order

  10. R - reset rotation of selected ship part

  11. T - reset scale of selected ship part

  12. Click on ship part to select it

  13. Click on background to deselect it
