Documentation

Attention: the documentation is out of date, I mean to update it at some point soon, but if someone volunteered, I'd be more than happy.

The documentation is brief. If someone wants to contribute some documentation, I'd be very happy. The following is available:

Usage (how to play)

Installation

First, a 3D card is strongly recommended. Then, you need the right drivers for your card. Contact your graphics card vendor (e.g. Intel, ATI or nVidia), or if you have a laptop, your laptop manufactorer (it's usually tricky to find up-to-date laptop drivers though).

The following comments are only for people who want to compile the source themselves (i.e. all Linux/Unix users).

Linux: Extract the sources somewhere and read the INSTALL file.

Usage

Almost all settings can be changed through the menu system. Usage is straightforward:

Use the cursor keys (Up/Down) and Space/Enter to navigate the menus.
Press Escape to ascend one menu level / get back to the game.
Use the Left/Right keys to change the volume settings in the Audio menu.

In the game:

Press Space to start / restart / pause the game
