The controls I've found so far:
Triangle Ship: A=left S=thrust D=right 4=fire
Rocket Ship: J=left K=thrust L=right 0=fire
I guess there are two human players, sharing a keyboard.
- mlyle 3y agoDoes it not display the instructions when you first navigate to it? It does for me.
- neilv 3y agoThanks, I missed those.
- masswerk 3y agoAlso, gamepad mappings: https://www.masswerk.at/spacewar/images/gamepad-mappings-hr.png https://www.masswerk.at/spacewar/images/gamepad-mappings-hr.... There are also virtual touch controllers. If a touch device is not auto-detected, toggle them on/off with Options Menu (top right corner) -> Virtual Controllers. Finally, you can change keyboard mappings by the "Keyboard" menu at the top. (The splash screen, which is not part of the original game, reflects the current mapping.) --- If interested in the code (PDP-1 assembler), see this walk-through: https://www.masswerk.at/spacewar/inside/ https://www.masswerk.at/spacewar/inside/ Canonical reading on the game's history: "The Origin of Spacewar" by J.
