Description Alright. This was a little experiment to decide if making an entire game using stereoscopic imaging was reasonable. But what is stereoscopic imaging you ask. It's when you place two images next to each other to create an single image with depth. You view this third magic image by crossing your eyes and lining the two images up. Same principle as magic 3D posters. In truth, this probably belongs in scraps. But no one will see it there and I think this is interesting enough to share.

Well, here are the controls. They're kinda complex and poorly thought out. (Obviously you need to download the game and unzip it before you can run it.)

right arrow, ship goes right
left arrow, ship goes left
up arrow, ship goes forward
down arrow, ship goes back

Q, ship goes up
A, ship descends
W, turn off layer 1
S, turn off layer 2
E, turn on layer 1
D, turn on layer 2

(Numbers on top of keyboard)
1 and 2, adjusts the stereoscopic effect

(Num pad)
2, screen descends
4, screen goes left
6, screen goes right
7, rotates screen up
8, screen ascends
9, rotates screen down

Space, kinda makes the ship shoot... but it's really crappy.

The screen is readjustable. Making the screen bigger and longer helps some people see the image.

One final note about that purple flying enemy thing. Originally it was going to be a mutalisk, or rather a cheep rip off of a mutalisk, but it got mangled by the bender's MD2 exporter.

God. You have no idea how good it feels to hear that. I was really stereoscopy before I realize no one else gave a damn.

Eh, I know how it is...no one seems to care about my non-fat girl works either...

I flipped through your gallery without even realizing your transformer animations animated. I'd encourage you to make more if I didn't know how tedious that kind of work is.

It can be pretty tough.
