INSTRUCTIONS

It's Galaga, you know how to play Galaga, stop bothering me. (Ship follows the mouse, button fires. Auto-fire by holding it down, so no-one accuses me of breaking their mouse!)

The xgalaga-hyperspace version features some new weapons and different gameplay. Press the x key to use your shields in this version.

OPTIONS

-scores: Prints out the high score files and exits

-display host:dpy: Set your display

-mouse: Use mouse control (same as 'm').

-keyboard: Use keyboard control (same as 'k'). If you have a joystick it can also be used if you select keyboard control.

-nosound: Turn sound OFF

-b: Turn buffered mode off, use this if it runs too slowly. Will cause flicker, maybe lots, maybe only a little.

-noclipmask: Don't use clip masks for drawing (affects unbuffered mode only).

-nouseor: Don't draw using OR mode.

-nostars: Don't draw stars in the background.

Combinations of the last four options can be used to get faster drawing if the video card can't keep up with the required 30 frames/sec. The fastest drawing will come from

: xgalaga -b -noclipmask -nouseor -nostars
