1sdlroids - an enhanced shoot-the-asteroids game. 2Copyright (C) 1991 Edward Hutchins. 3Unix/Linux port by Russell Marks, 2000. 4SDL port by David Hedbor <david@hedbor.org> 5 6 7DESCRIPTION 8----------- 9 10Hyperoid was a really cool little game for Windows 3.x. It's 11essentially an Asteroids clone, with decent game physics and 12enhancements over the original game. 13 14Once you've installed sdlroid , READ THE MAN PAGE. Some things about 15it are a bit non-obvious, and it can save time to have them pointed 16out. 17 18Some of the improvements over xhyperoid are: 19 20- Pause functionality. 21- Fullscreen mode. 22- Less flickering. 23- Nicer place area (you can see the borders) and better edge handling 24 (things just don't pop from one side to another). 25- Uses SDL, and thus supports a more platforms. Can also use the esound 26 daemon if SDL is compiled with it. 27- Added configure scripts to simplify porting to different platforms. 28 29 30LICENSE 31------- 32 33GPL.
