About this fork of FreeSynd

Improvements

Make it playable with modern controls and high-resolution screens.

• Fullscreen by default, preserving aspect ratio as in the original DOS game.
• Configurable scaling. Set for example scale_factor = 3 in user.conf. Default is calculated depending on resolution.
• See more of the map in a zoomed out view, pixel-perfect integer scaled.
• Hold down CTRL or Mouse-wheel to pan the view using the mouse.
• Smooth panning with WASD keys instead of edge-panning.
• High framerate. If you have a 144 Hz monitor scrolling is 144 fps (for example).
• Faster menu transitions.
• Press key 1-4 to select agent. Double press key 1-4 to center on agent.
• Build on macOS with Windows x64 (mingw64) cross-compile.
