Sopwith 1.7.1-4maemo3
port of the 1980's side-scrolling WWI dogfighting game
For the nostalgic among you, I present sopwith.
This is an updated version of the 1980's game developed by
David L. Clark of BMB Compuscience Canada - it has been adapted
to run on Maemo devices with a keyboard. Poor graphics, stupid AI,
and no sound await you. The gameplay is simple, addictive,
and fun. A `side-scroller', you pilot your biplane across a static
field, destorying enemy encampments and planes.

Oh, and I know that the game crashes if you fly (or crash) too close to the edge of the map. Code from the 80's is just sometimes really interesting :)
Bugs can be written here.
Options menu with O key is redundant with Options menu entry. I'll probably remove the O key menu, because there are couple of unnecessary options and it doesn't work well together with the other Options menu.
Bug tracker link? To get back from options menu you need to press 'esc' The keyboard doesn't have 'esc'. Can that be changed that to backspace?
This brings back so many memories!
My favorite game from the childhood
getting out of the Options menu 'O' is not possible. the screen shows 'Esc - exit menu' which is not correct.
perhaps the Options menu can be removed altogether because the 'Settings' option via the drop-down menu allows that config already.
Works great and is light on the CPU. +1
