Although originally a shareware game, the latest version of ''Space Combat'' β 1.40 β is now freeware. In the game, the laws of physics are modeled fully, so ships do not behave like aircraft: they behave like spaceships in a frictionless vacuum. This means that any velocity picked up will be maintained unless an opposite force is applied by the engines. The game is a free-form simulation, with no plot or mission system. The spaceships have things such as biodomes and customizable engines. The ships have weapons (lasers and torpedoes), as the name suggests. ''Space Combat'' was largely developed using the [[Apple Macintosh]] computer with [[Mac OS X]], but is cross-compiled to the [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] operating system as well. It should also run on [[Mac OS 9]], although it is not recommended. Also, to further development of Laminar Research's main product, ''[[X-Plane (simulator)|X-Plane]]'', a [[Linux]] version has been released. The 3D graphics are fully based on the cross-platform [[OpenGL]] libraries. ==External links== * [http://www.x-plane.com/SpaceCombat.html ''Space Combat'' homepage (project discontinued)] * [http://www.x-plane.org/ X-Plane.org] Although primarily for Laminar Research's X-Plane, [http://www.x-plane.org/ X-Plane.org] does have a few downloads for Space Combat. *{{moby game|id=/space-combat|name=''Space Combat''}} [[Category:2004 video games]] [[Category:Freeware games]] [[Category:Linux games]] [[Category:Mac OS games]] [[Category:Mac OS X games]] [[Category:Space flight simulation computer games]] [[Category:Windows games]] {{flightsim-videogame-stub}}
