Fullscreen mode doesn't work for now, atleast
not on my monitor, please let me know if it
works for you.

Amiga Input not tested as i never got it to

This game is still in development and all
features aren't there yet, but it's very
playable. So, have a blast!

| 1 | Introduction |
+---+--------------+

C-Dogs SDL is a port of a really fun old DOS game to modern operating systems,
using the SDL media libraries for graphics, sound and input (hence the name).

For more information about the original c-dogs read 'original_readme.txt'.


+---+---------------------+
| 2 | Tested Environments |
+---+---------------------+

C-Dogs SDL has been ported with a unix development environment.
In theory, C-Dogs SDL could run on any system that is supported by SDL.
See the SDL website - www.libsdl.org for more details on SDL itself.

Tested architecture/system combinations include:

Linux:   
 * x86  (gentoo, slackware, ubuntu)
 * x86-64 (gentoo)
 * ppc  (ubuntu)

MacOSX:
 * ppc
 * x86  (reportedly works fine)

Should you succeed in running CDogs-SDL on a different *Nix,
please contact us!


+---+--------------+
| 3 | Installation |
+---+--------------+

To compile C-Dogs you need to have the SDL libraries previously installed,
a compiler (gcc recommended) and the apropriate header files. These instructions
assume you have the know-how to at least compile something... :)

See INSTALL for more information...


+---+----------------------+
| 4 | Command line options |
+---+----------------------+

The C-Dogs binary is called "cdogs", below are some command line arguments:

 -fullscreen C-Dogs will try and become full screen (recommended)

 -nojoystick C-Dogs will not use any available joysticks
 
 -wait  C-Dogs will wait for a key to be hit before 
   initialising graphics
 
 -nosound C-Dogs won't play sounds, thus saving CPU usage and
   leaving your sound-card alone (if you have one)

 -help  Display more command line options where are
   not listed here

These can be used in any order/combination:
 $ cdogs -fullscreen -wait
Which will make it go full screen after all the pre-video stuff is displayed
on stdout.
