LightCycles PC - (c)1999 Kev Ellis.
Version 1.0 - Released 25th July 1999.
(for future releases please check my website at
http://www.ellis-online.co.uk)
First, the legal bit...
==============
LightCycles PC is Freeware.
You may copy and distribute it as long as you:
Include this txt file with the program.
Do not modify either the program or this txt file.
Do not make any profit from copying, distributing or supplying it.
I assume no responsibility for any loss or damage caused either directly or
indirectly by the use of LightCycles PC. Sorry to sound so heavy, but I'm
just covering myself. I don't want anyone blaming me for giving their dog
a headache or anything!
==============
Right, now that bits done with, on with the game...
LightCycles PC is based on an old Spectrum game called LightCycles, by PSS.
The game is simple enough. You move around the screen leaving a trail behind you.
The object of the game is to force your opponent to crash, without
crashing yourself! If you've seen the film Tron, then you'll know where
the original idea probably came from.
You can play the game against the computer or in two-player mode (2-player mode
is what this game is all about!!!!).
I wrote this game in a single day, so don't expect *too* much will you ;-)
The Keys
=======
The 'blue' player:
Q - Up
A - Down
Z - Left
X - Right
The 'green' player:
P - Up
L - Down
N - Left
M - Right
Esc - Exit to windows (from title screen) and abandon game (from 'in game')
F12 - Exit to windows from anywhere in the game!
You'll need MS Windows and DirectX installed, and it should run on any PC more
powerful than an average toaster.
