Tyrian is an arcade-style vertical scrolling shooter. The story is set
7

== Keyboard Controls ===========================================================

21
alt-enter -- fullscreen
22

26

== Network Multiplayer =========================================================
31
Currently OpenTyrian does not have an arena; as such, networked games must be
32
initiated manually via the command line simultaniously by both players.
35
opentyrian --net HOSTNAME --net-player-name NAME --net-player-number NUMBER
37
where HOSTNAME is the IP address of your opponent, NUMBER is either 1 or 2
38
depending on which ship you intend to pilot, and NAME is your alias
40
OpenTyrian uses UDP port 1333 for multiplayer, but in most cases players will
41
not need to open any ports because OpenTyrian makes use of UDP hole punching.
