OPENJAZZ.6(1)

Okay bestie, welcome to OPENJAZZ.6(1) 🦋 filed under User Contributed Perl Documentation ✨

✨ NAME ✨

OpenJazz is the Jack Jazzrabbit 1 game engine reimplementation 🐰 a whole fresh engine that rebuilds the classic game, and it's giving main character energy 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

Type this, then point it at your game folder:

OpenJazz [options] <game directory>

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

OpenJazz is a free, open-source version of the classic Jazz Jackrabbit PC platform games. Lowkey the best part is that it's free 🫶 You'll need the original data files to actually play, no cap 🗂️

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

• -f — start in full-screen mode 🖥️
• -m — start with the audio muted 🔇

🌸 FILES 🌸

openjazz.cfg

This is the engine configuration file, where the settings live ⚙️

Note: command line parameters take precedence over values in the configuration file. So if they clash, the command line wins, periodt 💅

Game Data

OpenJazz should be compatible with all released versions of Jazz Jackrabbit 1 🐇 That includes the Shareware Episodes, "Holiday Hare" and "Holiday Hare '95", the "Jazz Jackrabbit CD" with "The Lost Episodes", and the "Complete" edition. Iconic range, honestly 👑

🎮 INGAME CONTROLS 🎮

🔒 Fixed Controls

These are the controls that stay the same no matter what:

• "Enter" — pick a menu option
• "Escape" — go back to the previous menu
• "F9" — check in-game statistics (e.g. FPS) 📊
• "P" — pause the game
• "Alt" + "Enter" — switch between full-screen and windowed mode
• "1-5" — switch weapon to Blaster, Toaster, Missile, Bouncer or TNT respectively. The keys go in that order, so 1 is Blaster and 5 is TNT 💥 If the weapon you want isn't available, try the next one.

🎹 Configurable Controls

These are configurable via the "setup options" menu. Here are the default settings, bestie:

• "Left" and "Right" arrow keys — move left and right 🏃‍♀️
• "Space bar" — jump, or swim upwards 🦘
• "left Alt" — shoot 🔫
• "right Ctrl" — change weapon 🔄

🕹️ Game Controllers

Most game controllers and joysticks that SDL recognizes can be used 🎮 However, not all axes or buttons may be available. Needs manual settings, so don't be shy about tweaking them 🫶
