📕 Description [en]

📜️ "Aliens" is a "slide at the bottom" shooting game written for the Agenda VR3 Linux-based PDA.

It is played with the Agenda held in a sideways position. The PgUp/PgDn buttons (on the side of the Agenda) move the ship left and right, and the Left or Right arrow buttons (on the front) are used for shooting.

Since it's an X-Window program, it also runs on Linux and Unix desktops, and should be trivial to port to other Linux-based PDAs, like the iPaq or the Zaurus (running X-Window).

🕵️ Test [fr]

🕵️ Test (20010518) :
A réserver à un PDA en effet, l'affichage est petit (quelques cm de côté) et basculé de 90° vers la droite.
Le gameplay est lui aussi adapté à la puissance d'un PDA (un peu trop rapide pour un PC classique.
La réalisation est soigné. Nous n'avons pas entendu de sons.
Très bien pour ce type d'utilisation.
