 ===== 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.

 ==== Linux Audio Trouble Fix ====
-Sound on Linux didn't work for me untill 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''. The less specific you are the better, I later had to remake the symlink because the version changed.

 ==== 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 //[[form:videogame:frozen_synapse_2]]// steps back from all these changes.

 ==== Frozen Cortex ====
-A gridirony take.
+A gridirony take. Have just recently started playing, I like it, but not as much.
 ==== Door Kickers ====
-Kinda a real-time / turn-based hybrid, but similar tactical planning, overhead view, shot-people thing. Maybe just as inspired by //Raindbow Six//. Has a tiresome upgrade tree. I don't like it much.

+==== Hot Brass ====
+Similar to //Door Kickers//.
+==== Special Tactics ====
+Similar to //FS//, but another one with gross military/cop theming. No real-time stuff like //Door Kickers//, but an annoying round timer.
+==== Phantom Brigade ====
+Mech combat. Fancy way of showing predictions of what will happen in the upcoming turn that seems to be a key part of the game.
