This is the first game I've written for X from "scratch" (the graphics interface is borrowed, I wrote everything else), but is by no means my first game. I have written several popular shareware games for the Amiga, and plan to start porting them to X. This project is to help me get used to X and to fine tune the graphics routines to make the next project easier.
Previous versions of this game were released as shareware. However, it was never really worth my while. Therefore, with apologies to the good souls that sent their payments in, I have placed it under the GNU GPL. See COPYING for details
See the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

See CREDITS file.
- The CREDITS file must only contain ASCII characters with decimal values from 32 to 126 - if you put 8-bit or UTF-8 characters there, the program will crash.
- The highscore list will also only contain this limited set of characters, as both src/TFont.c and src/SFont.c only provide this set.
