- VIDEO SYSTEM -
Being cross-platform, there are many methods to detect different resolutions on a system.
SDL uses one function to detect them but it doesn't seem to work properly on any system.
Gernerally it is not necessary, because many resolutions are already supported, but if
you want to support other resolutions that you don't find in the options list just modify the
"resolutions.cfg" file by hand.
Caution: This is recommended for advanced users who now what they do. The team won't take responsabilities
if you use a wrong configuration.
- GAME PLAY -
Before you play the game, you should take a look at the controls. Normally RAlt, Ctrl, Space and Enter
are the action keys. On some systems (specially Windows) it may be different. So check it out!
