6Triplane Classic is a side-scrolling dogfighting game featuring solo
7missions and multiplayer mode with up to four players. It is a port of
8the original Triplane Turmoil game for DOS and aims to match the
9original game exactly so that high scores remain comparable to the
10original.

22Testsuite
23---------

25Use "make test" to run testsuite. It plays the game with prerecorded
26inputs and checks the CRC checksum of every output frame. This is
27especially important if you are building on a weird architecture or
28have changed something in the code.

31------------------
32
33It is possible to modify the data files that are included in the
34fokker.dks file. Just modify the files in data_src with your favourite
35image editor that understand the PCX format and then use the helper
36script tools/build-data-from-source to regenerate contents of the
37data/ directory.
