Any chance to compile it for Win? #1

Closed AngryPhantom closed 1 year ago

Hello,

Soldier of Fortune was my all time favorite game when I was a kid! Any chance to compile it for Windows? Or, maybe, you know where to get the binary if it's available?

Also, if the above is impossible, do you know a decent emulator that allows to change the keybindings for this game? I've tried many of them and ZXSpin seems to be the best one, but I cannot change them (the default keybindings are a bit weird on a PC keyboard).

TIA

This task is too complex for me, I only hope to obtain some meaningful understanding of how it works.

Yes, this is possible. In game's main menu press "Enter" to change controls, possible options are "keyboard" (default), "sinclair", "kempston" and "cursor". I suggest selecting "cursor". ZXSpin by default maps Windows cursor keys to ZX Spectrum cursor keys. Also Ctrl is mapped to "0" so you can use it as a "fire" button.

Oh my god, that was really easy. I tried changing keybindings in the ZXSpin settings actually, but never chose Cursor from the game. Thank you very much!
