ABOUT
=====
This is the SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) port of Tennix!, a
game written by Thomas Perl in 2003. This version has been up-
scaled to a resolution of 640x480 in comparison to the 320x200
format used in the original game.
Changes from the original Tennix to the first SDL release include
a new shadow, advanced alpha blending and the removal of the
previously-included pseudo-advertisements.
For all changes, please see the ChangeLog file.
This port has been written on the 10th of May 2007 and is now
being improved and updated since then.
INSTALLATION
============
To build tennix, simply run "make" (on Unix-like systems) or
follow the instructions for your platform in the README.* files.
Tennix is known to build on Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (etch),
Win32 (mingw32) and Mac OS X 10.4 (using XCode tools).
Binaries of Tennix can be found on the webpage.
PLAYING TENNIX
==============
You can play in either single-player or multi-player mode.
For single player, Player 1 will play against the computer
and for multi player, Player 1 will play against Player 2.
CONTROLS
Player 1 | Player 2
---------------------------
Move up W O
Move down S L
Swing racket D K

See the manpage, tennix(6) for more controls (especially alternative
keyboard controls and mouse control, which is new since 0.6.0).
FUNCTION KEYS
Y .... Make screenshot (save as screenshot.bmp)
F .... Toggle fullscreen (X11 only)
C .... Switch type of court (grass, clay, etc..)
DEVELOPMENT/DEBUGGING
=====================
If you want to compile a debugging version of "tennix", you
have to set the environment variable "DEBUG" to "1", either by
using "DEBUG=1 make" or exporting the environment variable for
the current session, as in "export DEBUG=1" followed by "make".
