Playing instructions:
A ball falls endlessly down a series of floors.
You control the ball with the arrow keys "left" and "right." You can jump with the spacebar.
Collect jewels to boost your score.
Don't get caught between the top of the window and a floor.
Avoid the robotic sticks of TNT and the occasional magnet-carrying balloon which will pull you to your death.
To install:
$ make
There isn't a "make install" command yet--just run the executable from where it is. You can move it, as long as you keep the fonts, graphics, and sound effects in the same place relative to the executable.
You're going to need the libs and headers for OpenGL, SDL, and the XFree86 video mode extensions (i.e. libXxf86vm1) installed prior to building.
ToDo
--Better high score system (the current implementation is pretty slow)
--Possibly more beasties or baddies?
--Levelsets?
