FACHODA Complex project is a fast air combat simulator.
Fachoda Complex is a little game I wrote about 10 years ago. I coded this in 3 or 4 months while I was iddle. I was young and brave, then, but had never learned to code cleanly.
Sounds is now broken. It worked on Gravis Ultrasound. The game requires a Pentium with MMX, and Nasm. Disable sound with -nosound, try -xcolor or the SDL version when experiencing troubles with colors.
This is old work. I will never upgrade this code, but I will certainly, one day, code another flight simulator. I even started then stopped already... Someone suggested me to add a reverse gear to the plane, and I will then incorporate this idea, and many more...
