Sable is a frantic 3d space shooter inspired by games such as After Burner and Space Harrier. You pilot a ship through an obstacle-laden landscape and attack or evade swarms of enemies.
Sable itself is quite easy to play. The arrow keys move your ship, and the space bar fires your cannons. Holding down the space bar produces a rapid-fire effect. Avoid enemy craft, enemy shots, and the pylons. Pylons are destroyable but require concentrated fire to destroy.
Destroying an enemy ship is worth 75 points. Destroying a pylon is worth 200. Evading a pylon is worth 25 points.
Pressing P will pause the game. The R key toggles the "pylon radar" display which can be used to help navigate dense pylon fields.
Requirements:
SDL
SDL_image
SDL_mixer
OpenGL
What's New in This Release:
Nearly entirely redone graphics
Models are no longer hard-coded
Fixed scene sorting on pylons so that transparency works right.
Pylons become transparent gradually now.
Fixed texture color errors on big-endian machines.
