Thanks for downloading my homebrew DOS game Bob's Fury.
If you have any comments or feedback I'd be glad to hear them, please comment at my blog.

It's a work in progress (ie. it's not complete) and includes two sets of levels from the much older
Qbasic version of the game I wrote as a teenager.

Requirements
------------
You'll need a 286 processor minimum and about 400K of memory, although it may run on less.
Personally I'd recommend a 386. Graphically it supports CGA, EGA, VGA and VESA modes
which you should choose at the command line. It remembers your configuration so you only need to set
it once. Sound support comes in the form of either PC Speaker or Adlib FM synthesis (OPL) and can be
configured on the command line in a similar fasion. I have music support built in, but haven't written
any music, so I suggest leaving the music off.

I have done some testing on real hardware, but since what I have is extremely limited I can't guarantee
it will work perfectly on your system. Dosbox works quite well with pretty much the default settings.

Future
------
I'm obviously still working on this so changes will be made over time, hopefully adding more levels, but
perhaps also other features as I need them. I'm doing this in my spare time, of which I have very little,
so progress is slow. There will be updates, but there may be some significant time between them.

I have released the level editor, but I don't have any plans to release source code.
This is mostly because it's a bit untidy and much of it was written when I was inexperienced. 

Some things I don't plan on changing.
 - I'm not going to add smooth scrolling. It would be too big a change to the code base and wouldn't be
      faithful to the QBasic original. Although I am now considering re-writing much of the graphics support
      for better performance.
 - I'm not going to add digitised Sound blaster sound. I am considering adding CMS support but it's not planned
      at this stage.

Command Line
------------

bob /? -e -cga -h -l -n -a -s -c <file.map>

/? = shows a list of command line options

-e   = EGA graphics mode (640x200x16)
-cga = CGA graphics mode (320x200x4)
-l   = VGA graphics mode (320x200x256) (default)
-h   = VESA/SVGA graphics mode (640x400x256)

-n   = Force sound to be turned off.
-a   = Auto detect Adlib or PC Speaker
-s   = Force using the PC Speaker

-c <File.map> = used for loading a level directly. It's kinda bugged at the moment don't use it.
