-------------------- Section One: Before you Begin ------------------------------
Please read the included license agreement "license.txt".
N is freeware, and is freely distributable as long as the archive remains intact.
---
Please set your monitor to 1024x768 resolution;
For optimal performance, close all background tasks.
You will notice a slight improvement in performance if the
mouse cursor is _not_ over the window in which N is playing.
-------------------- Section Two: New in v1.3 ------------------------------
-= ONLINE HIGHSCORES =-
Online highscores are here! During play, N adds best scores to your Personal Best system.
If you have the online highscore system active (see the [configure] menu)
your scores will be automatically submitted to the online highscores database.
Use the [configure] menu to register a username and password for the online system.
If you haven't got a permanent internet connection (i.e dial-up), or if
N isn't submitting your highscores to the online system properly (which
sometimes happens due to lost packets and server usage), you can have N
automatically submit your personal bests by clicking the "submit" button
in the highscore menu.
Online highscore are accessible outside of the game at:
http://www.harveycartel.org/metanet/n_highscores_e.php
-= BOSS MODE =-
for those of you who play at work, or if you want to keep N running in the background
(without hogging the CPU), the new "boss mode" feature is a must!
you can select a key to activate this mode in the [configure] menu;
the default is the [ctrl] key.
-= UNLOCKABLE SECRET =-
only the most speedy and greedy of ninjas will be able to unlock the new secret,
but it will be well worth the effort.
-------------------- Section Three: Tips and Gameplay ----------------------------
For information on rules, how to play, etc., view the
In-game help and story sections (accessible from the main menu)
Check it out! There are a lot of different moves to master.
---
You can configure custom keys via the main menu.
The default keys are:
[left and right arrows]: accelerate left/right
[shift] or [z]: jump (hold key down for higher jump)
[k]: kill yourself (useful if you get stuck or trapped, or just for fun)
[p]: pause game/quit to main menu
[ctrl]: boss mode
---
Learning to control the ninja may take some time, but almost
any maneuver is possible given enough skill. And practice ;)
---
Read editor_manual.doc or .txt to find out how to make your own levels.
---
enjoy!
