0. "make"
1. "tux_serv" in terminal 1
2. "xtux" in terminal 2
3. in client, play->connect

****************
* REQUIREMENTS *
****************
To run XTux you will need:

* X11 libraries
* Xpm libraries

Most Linux and FreeBSD distributions have both of these libraries already
present. The latest Xpm libraries can be obtained from ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib
in the libraries directory.

****************
* INSTALLATION *
****************

1. Put the data directory where you want it to go (or just leave it)
2. Edit the toplevel Makefile and change DATADIR to the FULL path of the
   data directory. (default is "data", which should be ok unless you move it)
3. Change the Makefile(s) to suit your system. Probably the only one you'll
   have to change is the X11_PATH variable in "src/client/Makefile". Solaris
   users will have to add -lsocket and -lnsl (from memory) because the network
   libraries are not linked against by default. Sun also puts X in weird places.
4. Type "make". This will build the common libraries then the client and server
   binaries.

* Playing the game *
********************

0. The controls that I use to play the game are hard to learn, but
   I think they're the best once you get used to them. Copy my config file
   to your home directory as .xtux to try them out.
   (from the xtux directory) "cp daves_config ~/.xtux"
1. If you wish to run the server on your machine, start a server with the
   command "tux_serv -m MAP_NAME.map" (for more info on the server, type
   "tux_serv -h")
2. Start the client with the command "xtux". You can customise your settings
   and details in the "player setup" and "options" menu's.
3. To join the game, select the "play" then "connect" menu item and then enter
   the address and port number for the server you are connecting to.
   If you are intending to play on the server on your computer and you started
   the server as in (1), the default values should be correct.
4. There are some unfinished maps in the maps directory, rename them from
   map_name.OLD to map_name.map to play them.
