Sopwith is a modern port of the classic 1980s shoot 'em up game of the
 same name. The game has a World War I aviation theme. The object of
 Sopwith is to destroy all enemy targets with a somewhat limited airforce.
 
 
 It can be played both in single player and multiplayer mode over a TCP/IP network.

Sopwith

there is still no editor for making custom levels, but a python library has been added for programmatically generating levels. an example level has been included, the first custom level!
 objects in custom levels can now be arbitrarily mirrored and rotated.
 The numeric keypad enter key can now be used to switch into fullscreen mode, and also when entering a hostname (thanks TechKnight).
 A long-standing bug was fixed where the computer planes would try to take off by flying straight up and then immediately stalling.
 The score is no longer reset between levels (this was a bug).
 At end of level, the remaining planes now "tick down" properly.
 A bug was fixed where the app icon was shown as a black silhouette.
 The manual page now documents the dashboard layout.
 The score will no longer be drawn over the medals for very large values.

It is now possible to make and load custom levels (there is no proper level editor available yet though).
 There are now a number of alternative palettes that can be used that simulate different CGA palettes and old monitors (thanks techknight).
 There are now hotkeys to end or restart the current game (thanks techknight).
 There is now a -p command line option to specify TCP port number.
 Sound is now oversampled to reduce sound aliasing (thanks @kmill).
 Starting level is now synchronized between players at multiplayer start.
 A bug was fixed with the keybindings menu not working (thanks ranguli, NY00123)
 A missing include was added to fix build on Alpine Linux (thanks John Gebbie)
 An input bug was fixed where a backspace would leave some visual corruption, and the cursor now blinks.
 A bug was fixed where the same medal could be awarded twice.
 Timing of music on the title screen was fixed (thanks @NY00123).

Sound on Windows was fixed.
 Medals are no longer cleared after a crash. Players now keep their medals until the end of the level, like their score.
 The purple heart medal is now only awarded to players injured in combat. Surviving a bird strike or crashing into an ox doesn't cut it.
 Out of tree builds were fixed (thanks Will Thompson)
 The close button now quits the game (thanks Will Thompson)
 The help screen is no longer shown when aborting the game.

Help text is now shown for new players. This is shown on game start in
novice mode, but won't be shown again after a successful flight. The help
text will also appear in other single player modes, but only if it looks
like you're really struggling to get the plane off the ground.
 It's no longer possible to flip the plane upside down while sitting
motionless on the runway (a bug since the original DOS versions).
 It's no longer possible to get wounded on the ground. If a plane shoots
another on the ground, that's a successful raid. This fixes a bug where
a wounded plane on the runway would still be damaged after takeoff.
 The game no longer freezes up in multiplayer mode if the other player
quits. When establishing a connection, a helpful message is shown about how
to abort.
 If the game quits with an error, a friendly dialog box now shows the error.
