OK, I've seen that a bunch of people have already downloaded
the gridslammer/droidwars package, and several of you have
emailed me with these problems, so am I just going to send this
to the list. I'll make sure these instructions get bundled
into the distribution ASAP and will try not to clutter the
GGI list with anymore off topic stuff.
When extracting the package, you should already be in
the directory where you want the files to reside. If
you are extracting the .ZIP version, be sure to use the
parameter that creates subdirectories.
Instructions for playing DroidWars
----------------------------------
- Use the left and right arrow keys to turn
- Use the up and down arrow keys to change your speed
- Use the spacebar to shoot
- Hit Esc to exit
When the game starts, you will immediately be attacked by
two floating red orbs. When they hit you 20 times, the
game exits without so much as a 'Game Over' messsage. This
is not a crash! It is just how the thing is written right
now.
If you want to explore some of the maze, you will either
need to get yourself out the room with the orbs rather
quickly, or blow them up.
The game does not do anything else at this point. Hey,
the thing is only alpha after all.
Later,
Thad
