1 2 XGalaga v2.0 3 4 Copyright (c) 1995-1998 Joe Rumsey 5 <mrogre@mediaone.net> 6 XGalaga Home Page: http://rumsey.org/xgal.html 7 8 Please see the file INSTALL for installation instructions. 9 10 This is the first game I've written for X from "scratch" (the 11graphics interface is borrowed, I wrote everything else), but is by no 12means my first game. I have written several popular shareware games 13for the Amiga, and plan to start porting them to X. This project is 14to help me get used to X and to fine tune the graphics routines to 15make the next project easier. 16 17 Previous versions of this game were released as shareware. However, 18it was never really worth my while. Therefore, with apologies to the 19good souls that sent their payments in, I have placed it under the GNU 20GPL. See COPYING for details 21 22See the file INSTALL for installation instructions. 23 24 25Command line options: 26 -scores Print out the high score tables and exit 27 -nosound Turn sound off on platforms with sound support 28 -level <level> Set the starting level to <level> 29 -window Start in windowed mode instead of fullscreen 30 -winsize <WxH> Window size (default 468x596) 31 <anything else> print usage and version. 32 33Basic instructions: 34 It's Galaga, you know how to play Galaga, stop bothering me. 35 (Ship follows the mouse, button fires.
