This is a port of the classic biplane shoot ‘em-up “Sopwith” to run on modern computers and operating systems. It is named “SDL Sopwith” as it uses the LibSDL cross-platform library.
What is Sopwith?
Sopwith is a classic side scrolling shoot 'em up developed in the 1980s by the Canadian firm BMB Compuscience. You pilot a Sopwith Camel biplane, attempting to bomb enemy targets while avoiding enemy planes. The original game was for MS-DOS.
In 2000, Dave L. Clark, the original programmer behind Sopwith, released the source code to Sopwith. This is an updated version based on his released sources; it is not a rewrite or recreation. It is named SDL Sopwith as it makes use of the LibSDL multimedia library to access the screen and the sound device.
