====== Frozen Synapse ======
{{media:image:videogame:frozensynapse_titlescreen.png|}}

~~NOTOC~~

**//Frozen Synapse//** is one of my favourite games, and one of the few I like playing against other people.

If you'd like to play together my screen name in //FS// is ''The_Blueberry_Hill''

===== Level editor =====
By typing ''LevelEditor();'' into the console (activated with the ''`'' key) you can open the level editor. Otherwise you can access it when challenging an opponant. From there you can regenerate the level, move people round, change weapons. You can also load and save levels, which includes the ability to load/generate maps from an image file.

===== Technical =====
==== Saves ====
There's no cloud saving in [[Steam]], so if you want to transfer your single-player campaign progress to another computer / OS you need to grab all the files titled ''spSave*.*'' from:
  * **Linux** : ''~/.local/share/FrozenSynapse/psychoff''
  * **MacOS** : ''~/Library/Application Support/FrozenSynapse/Psychoff''
  * **Windows** : ''%SteamPath%\steamapps\common\frozen synapse\psychoff''

==== Linux Audio Trouble Fix ====
Sound on Linux didn't work for me until I installed the //32-bit// version of libopenal (lib32-openal), and symlinked to it from the //Frozen Synapse// directory. //FS// is looking for the file ''libopenal.so'' in its own directory, so you need to point it to that.

In my case the file was: ''/user/lib32/libopenal.so.1.17.2''
but other examples online are simply ''libopenal.so'' or ''libopenal.so.1''

You can symlink from the //Frozen Synapse// directory with: ''sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/libopenal.so.1.17.2 libopenal.so''

===== Related Games =====

==== Frozen Synapse Prime ====
A version of //Frozen Synapse// with more details graphics (to my eye they're much harder to read), and a simplified command menu. It seems like //[[Frozen Synapse 2]]// steps back from all these changes.

==== Frozen Cortex ====
A gridirony take.

==== Door Kickers ====
Kinda a real-time / turn-based hybrid, but similar tactical planning, overhead view, shot-people thing. Maybe just as inspired by //Rainbow Six//. Has a tiresome upgrade tree. I don't like it much. Who wants to be a cop.

==== Hot Brass ====
Similar to //Door Kickers//.
