The SHOOT KEY fires your current weapon.
The ACTION KEY can do two things:
1. Toggles flight mode.
Rotate mode - Rotate mode is similar to the old arcade game
Asteroids. Motion is controlled by rotating the ship to
the direction you want (clockwise or counter-clockwise)
and pressing a thrust key. So the player's motion keys
follows:
┌─────────┬─────────┬─────────┐
│rotate cc│forward │rotate c │
│& fwd thr│ thrust │& fwd thr│
├─────────┼─────────┼─────────┤
│rotate │forward │rotate │
│counter-c│ thrust │clock-wz │
├─────────┼─────────┼─────────┤
│rotate cc│reverse │rotate c │
│& rev thr│ thrust │& rev thr│
└─────────┴─────────┴─────────┘
Direction mode - Direction mode, is your basic mode. Up will
go up, down will go down, left..left, etc. Unlike most games
which automatically change to that particular direction, the
ship will rotate to that direction. So the player's motion keys
follows as:
┌─────────┬─────────┬─────────┐
│up-left │ up │up-right │
│ │ │ │
├─────────┼─────────┼─────────┤
│left │ │right │
│ │ │ │
├─────────┼─────────┼─────────┤
│down-left│ down │down- │
│ │ │ right │
└─────────┴─────────┴─────────┘
So pressing the UP key will automatically rotate the ship
until it is facing up. UP-LEFT will rotate the ship to a
45 degree angle facing up-left. You can do combination of
keys, for in-between positions. Pressing the UP and the
UP-LEFT key will turn the ship to 22 degrees to the left
from the UP position. LEFT and the UP-LEFT key will turn
the ship 22 degrees UP from the left postion. Experiment. ;)
2. Links/unlink ships. Works only with two players. If two player's
ships are close to each other, the action button will link the two
ships as one ship. This will increase fire power and overall ship
speed.
