| Hello, and Welcome to Hyperoid version 1.1! | |
| The object of the game is intuitive---shoot everything! (Well, almost | |
| everything, heh heh!). If the keyboard buffer overflows in all the | |
| excitement, ignore the beeps you hear and they'll go away. | |
| Hyperoids uses the palette manager, so if you have a palette-capable display | |
| (and you read the on-line help pages) you should be able to set up better | |
| colors than the Windows defaults. I have tested hyperoids on a monochrome | |
| '286, and it seems to work fine. If you want to re-map the keys, look at | |
| Appendix A (or the Windows SDK) for some non-ASCII virtual key codes. | |
| The source is available through the same channel that you got the executable | |
| through, as per the GNU general public licence. Please read the licence if | |
| you have any questions, or contact me at the above addresses (email | |
| preferred). | |
| If you make modifications/bug fixes to Hyperoid, please use me as a clearing | |
| house to prevent versions flooding out into the universe. (You don't have to, | |
| but I'd appreciate it :-). If you write the world's greatest game using some | |
| of my source, please send me note telling what it is and where it's available. | |
| Changes since 1.0: | |
| Explosion processing a little faster | |
| Swarmers (little green guys) no longer flood the system | |
| Scoring is better | |
| Extra lives every 100,000 points (not 50,000) | |
| Firepower reduced a little (hey, the game was too darn easy) | |
| Spinning Game Over (Oooooh...) | |
| Look for: | |
| ls - *nix ls command with MUCHO bells&whistles (couldn't live w/out it!) | |
| blitfix - util that sets the CS_BYTEALIGNCLIENT bit on all top windows | |
| (speeds up my 1024x768 display by a factor of 3) | |
| eyecon - xeyes clone (may have to be renamed) | |
| ilbm - Amiga IFF bitmap viewer (supports HAM mode and palettes!) | |
| life - 7 blit life with a few bells&whistles | |
| loadmon - nifty system performance monitor | |
| mbrot - mandelbrot hack that runs in the background | |
| yow - Zippy the Pinhead in his very own icon, telling it like it is | |
| (more games... stuff... junk...) | |
| Coming real soon now to a (net,BBS,Wherever this stuff ends up) near YOU! | |
