Typhoon 2001 For Linux

Typhoon 2001 is a freeware game inspired by both the Atari Jaguar hit game Tempest 2000 and the arcade hit Tempest. It takes ideas and concepts from both games, but rearranges and changes them. A few new ideas have been implemented as well.

Here are some key features of "Typhoon 2001":

� ncredible graphics � Awesome sound � 100 Levels � 7 different enemies � Slowly rising difficulty level � Starting level freely selectable � Controlled by keyboard, mouse or gamepad � Built in leveleditor � Uses OpenGL and Allegro

It can also run on a none 3d graphics accelerator especially on a laptop. Game settings can also be adjusted by entering the default "enter" key (which is the superzaper button).

Requirements:

� Linux 2.6.x with X11 and hardware accelerated OpenGL drivers � 128 to 256 MBytes of RAM, depending on operating system. � A processor with about 500 Mhz (doesn't matter if AMD or Intel or whatever) � OpenGL capable 3D-Accelerator card. Does not have to be on par with a GeForce 8800 but should be decent... not one of them onboard crap thingies

What's New in This Release:

� Updated to Allegro 4.2.2 and AllegroGL 0.4.2 � Finally a linux version is available! Binary only though... � Tweaked the bonus stage controls and the bonus stage itself a bit � Added the webs from Tempest and Tempest Tubes, the webs from Tempest 2000 will be added in the future � Optimized the pixelshatter a bit, hopefully no more slowdowns � Cut down the size of some textures since they simply did not need to be that big. With this and other optimizations i managed to reduce the size of the datafile by ~ 25%. � The superzapper now kills the closest enemies first � Some bugfixes and tweaks � Added a credits page on the title screen
