NAME

       rRootage - an abstract arcade shooter

SYNOPSIS

       rrootage [-lowres|-mediumres|-highres] [-nosound] [-window] [-fullscreen] [-reverse] [-nowait] [-accframe]

DESCRIPTION

       rRootage is an arcade style shooting game. Avoid the barrage of bullets while using your laser to destroy the enemy's battle ship.

USAGE

       You can play the game with a keyboard or a joystick. On the keyboard the following keys are used:

	- Movement    Arrow keys
	- Fire	      Z
	- Special     X
	- Pause       P
	- Leave Game  Escape

       In the initial screen, use X to choose the mode, and Z to select a level.

       The game has the following modes:

   Normal Mode
       This is the standard game mode. Your ship slows down while your laser is being fired. The special key releases a bomb, which destroys enemy
       bullets. The number of bombs you have is displayed in the bottom-right corner.

   PSY Mode
       When bullets graze your ship the graze meter, which is displayed in the bottom-right corner, increases. When the meter becomes  full,  your
       ship is temporarily invincible. The special key increases the range within which bullets graze your ship, but also slows your ship down.

   IKA Mode
       Your  ship  has	two  modes, white and black, and the enemy bullets come in white and black varieties. You can absorb bullets with the same
       colour as the mode of your ship, and they will be converted into lasers. The special key switches between white and black mode.

   GW Mode
       Your ship has a bullet reflector, which you activate using the special key.  However, you can only use it while the reflector meter,  shown
       in the bottom right corner, displays "OK".

OPTIONS

       These command line options are available:

       -lowres
	      Low resolution mode.

       -mediumres
	      Medium resolution mode (default).

       -highres
	      High resolution mode.

       -nosound
	      Disable sound.

       -window
	      Launch the game in a window, rather than fullscreen.

       -fullscreen
	      Launch the game in fullscreen mode.

       -reverse
	      Reverse the fire key and the special key.

       -nowait
	      When there are a large number of bullets on the screen, the game is slowed down. This option prevents this slowdown so that the game
	      speed is constant.

       -accframe
	      Use the alternative frame rate management algorithm. (If you have a problem with the frame rate, try this option.)

FILES

       ~/.rr.prf
	      This is where rRootage records which levels you have completed in which modes.
