					
	SPACEWAR4D - By Valentin Angelovski (BETA VERSION 2.0)
        ------------------------------------------------------

INTRODUCTION:
-------------
Object of the game: Destroy your opponent in a simple shoot-em-out 
fashion - all in good fun!!!

Why 4D? because you can 'fly' through the scenery, where in this case, 
these 'unique' spacecraft allow one to embed themselves within planets, 
spacejunk etc so as to 'evade' their opponent. 


GAMEPLAY NOTES:
---------------
* Mouse controls: Left button = fire laser. Right button = accelerate/stop.

* By pressing the space-bar, you can toggle a '3rd-party' perspective of the battle-zone.

* You may have to press-and-hold the 'R' Key to restart a game after you've been killed.

* The radar scope display is useable (sort-of), but is yet to be perfected. Also the 
  colors of the spacecraft need to be sorted out.


INSTALLATION NOTES:
-------------------
* For multiplayer LAN gameplay via Windows-XP do the following:
	
	- Check and grant Network access to SPACEWAR4D via Windows firewall.
	- Check and grant Network access to SPACEWAR4D via any other 
	  software firewalls installed (ie: Macafee, Panda etc.)

* For multiplayer LAN gameplay via Windows 98/ME do the following:

	- Check and grant Network access to SPACEWAR4D via any other 
	  software firewalls installed (ie: Macafee, Panda etc.)

* For WWW play, you will have to setup your router to allow UDP access to 
  the specific port number that you intend to use (consult your router 
  user manual to see if your router has this capability)
