v1.2.3
55a68e6

An in-game keyboard reference (Ctrl+H), and a tidier launcher.

You still need your own copy of the DOS game. Unpack the package, copy the original files into its Game folder and start the game: gunboat.exe on Windows, Gunboat.app on macOS, ./gunboat on Linux. The README.txt in the package has the details.

New

  • Ctrl+H shows every keyboard command over the game: piloting and the guns, switching stations, orders to the crew, time compression, and the port's own keys.
    • The game pauses while it is open, and Ctrl+H again picks up exactly where you left off.
    • It can also be put on a controller button with the controller mapping tool.

Fixed

  • Launcher: the "Hills stop bullets" label no longer runs into its setting.

Checked

The game's own code is unchanged since 1.2.2, where every ported function was verified against the original machine code (359 differential tests, 193,273 cases, no differences).
