Flaming space balls
Flaming Space Balls v0.9 --Requirements-- Windows XP/Vista Directx 9.0c --Installation-- Simply extract the package to a directory of your choice, using the subfolder structure in the zip. To start the game run Flaming Space Balls!.exe --Configuration-- Display resolution can be configured in init.cfg. Open the file with a text editor and edit the ScreenWidth= and ScreenHeigth= lines to match your desired resolution. Do not to put any white space immediately on either side of the "=" mark. The game will deduce the aspect ratio of your display from the resolution so use wide-screen resolutions only on wide-screen displays if you don't want flattened graphics. You can also turn the music off by leaving the lines menuMusic= and gameMusic= blank. --Menu-- -Start Game- Opens the start menu -Join Game- Opens a screen where you can type in the address and join a network game. -Host game- Immediately starts a new network game that other players can join through the network. -Local- Immediately starts a new local game. -Player Setup- Here you can set the players' names, ships and controls and also the number of players on your machine. The controls show only key codes, but don't mind that, they still are set to the key/button/axis you press when you have klicked on it so that it says "Press". The default controls are described later in this readme. -Game Setup- Here you can set the game area size, background, respawn timer and victory conditions. The game area size should preferably have the same "aspect ratio" as your display, otherwise objects will collide short of the vertical screen edges. -Exit- You will never guess what this does. --Controls-- The default controls are as follows Menu: Esc Hide/Show scoreboard: F1 -Player 1 Fire: Right Ctrl Left: Left Arrow Right: Right Arrow Turn Axis: none Thrust: Up Arrow Change asteroid: Down Arrow -Player 2- Fire: Tab Left: A Right: D Turn Axis: none Thrust: W Change asteroid: S -Player 3- Fire: Space Bar Left: H Right: K Turn Axis: none Thrust: U Change asteroid: J -Player 4- Fire: Joystick 0 Button 1 Left: none Right: none Turn Axis: Joystick0 X Axis Thrust: Joystick 0 Button 0 Change asteroid: Joystick 0 Button 2 Tip: You can change the launch angle of the asteroids by holding down thrust and turning left or right. --Credits-- Programming: Marko Kärkelä, [email protected] Graphics & Sounds: Mikko Kärkelä, [email protected] Music: Pauli Valkeejärvi, [email protected] FMOD Sound System, copyright © Firelight Technologies Pty, Ltd., 1994-2006., www.fmod.org Crazy Eddie's GUI System v0.4.1, www.cegui.org.uk ColDet - 3D Collision Detection Library Copyright (C) 2000 Amir Geva,
