Installation

Controls

For the purposes of solving the starfield puzzle, only mouse clicks, L and Tab are really needed, though the action glyph in the PET can be used instead of Tab.

TODOs

  • We don't support the QSound library the original game used for simulating sounds in 3D space to output to standard stereo. We just do a very basic reduction of volume based on sounds' distance from the player.
  • The last puzzle of the game, the 3D starmap, contains a massive amount of code. This includes a lot of matrix manipulations, a lot of those methods still have anonymous names like 'fn1'. We could really use a developer with more mathematical experience to spend time cleaning up the code base and giving everything better names.
  • Add support for the Macintosh release of the game.
