Mures is a cross-platform clone of Sega's "Chu Chu Rocket" written using C. It has been tested on Linux and Windows, but should work on other 32-bit platforms.
Requirements
SDL 1.2.0
SDL_image
SDL_net
SDL_ttf
OpenGL (optional)
How to build
see INSTALL
How to play
Run
./mures
Game configuration is now handled by a menu system. Passing the "--no3d" argument disables OpenGL output if it is compiled in.
Controls
Press enter to start the game, press P to pause, and Q to quit. Print screen saves a screenshot to the shot.bmp in the current directory. Press escape to return to the menu from the middle of a game. F1 restarts the current game. This is useful in puzzle mode.
Player 1: Use the mouse to target, and click and drag in the desired direction to place an arrow. If a joystick is detected, it may also be used by player 1.
Player 2: Use the arrow keys to target, and the number keypad to place arrows.
Player 3: Use A,W,S,D to target and I,J,K,L to place arrows.
Multiplayer
Multiplayer (multi-computer) support is currently experimental and only enjoyable over links without packet loss. To start a server, run the game and select Server. Put in less than four players. The game will not start until it fills up.
To run a client, use -c hostname, where hostname is the host name of the server. Once the game fills up, the server will automatically start it, but if you wish to play with less than four players, the person running the server may press enter to start it.
