14Installation and running
15------------------------
16
17    * download the source code from http://artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~brain/0verkill/release/0verkill.tgz
18
19    * type "tar xvfz 0verkill.tgz"
20
21    * enter the 0verkill directory
22
23    * type "configure" or "configure --with-x" if you have Xwindow
24
25    * if you want to disable 3D support (it's enabled by default), edit cfg.h
26      file and comment out line "#define TRI_D" (just at the beginning of the
27      file)
28
29    * then type "make" to compile binaries
30
31    * type "server" to start server, or "server -p <port number>" to determine
32      port number (default port is 6666)
33
34    * to join the game type "0verkill" or "0verkill -s <xsize>x<ysize>" to
35      explicitely set picture size (in characters)
36
37    * if you're running X type "x0verkill" or
38      "x0verkill [-d <display>] [-f <font>]"
39
40    * if you want to see the game in 3D, supply "-3" option on the command
41      line. To learn more about 3D 0verkill, read "3d.txt" file in the "doc"
42      directory.
43
44    * select server address and port, your color and name
45
46    * to learn which keys to use for playing press the H key (it toggles help -
47      even in the game)
48
49    * press ENTER and enjoy!
50
51    * if you want to rebuild 0verkill completely, run the "rebuild" script
52

54Problems and Solutions
55----------------------
56
57    * when x0verkill writes "Can't load font ..." and you want to set your own
58      default font (not to write "-f <font>" argument everytime you run
59      x0verkill) edit cfg.h file and change DEFAULT_FONT_NAME to your font name
60
61    * if keyboard response is bad in X make you're probably running 0verkill
62      instead of x0verkill
