Galactic Command Readme
-----------------------

What happened is I coded this game a year or two ago. I quit because it began
to expand past the capabilities of QB. I remembered it a day or two ago
and decided to debug it a tiny bit, make this readme file and release it after
wasting the 16th year of my life working on a small laptop screen on this game.

Enjoy!
  
Big thanks to Enhanced Creatinos DirectQB and Angelo Motolla. Also Eric Carr
for his support and his help in boosting me up to OpenGL.
This game was in development for roughly 2 years. 

Controls:
=========

Camera Movement:
================

Mouse
-----
Touch right side of screen to rotate the camera right, left, up or down.
Right click and drag to zoom. If you ever get lost, just zoom out.

Keyboard
--------
I forget some commands, but here's all I use:
Numpad 4: Rotates around selected ship. (rotates horizontaly)
Numpad 6: Same.


Move Ships:
===========
- Select a ship by clicking on it or clicking & dragging.
- Move ship simply by clicking move and moving the box.
- Move a ship verticaly by dragging and holding right mouse button.
- Left click to send them.

Build ships:
============
- Select your mothership(big grey box). Only the first two build icons work
  and they both make one fighter. No mothership building. The fighter comes out the top.


I know the game has bugs. I removed sound because of wide incompatibility.
You can edit the games files easily. Create your own ships if you like. 
I have not decided when or if I should release the source code.

On the side of the screen is some information, some for my benefit, some only for you.
You will find a life guage there, which shows the life for the ship you have selected.
When you build ships, you will see another guage with the amount the ship has been
built.

At the top left you see how much ore you have left to build with.


Gameplay
========

The enemy is there. When you first start, if you zoom out a bit, look up a little bit, and look
way to the right, you will see the enemy fleet. They are more colorful. Since you know
how to move ships, to attack all you have to do is move your ships close to theirs
to attack. The rest is up to you.
