-##Running the game
- SuperTux makes use of proc to see where it is. In other words, it does not
- have any need to be installed and can be run from anywhere. This makes
- it possible to click in the executable in your filemanager (i.e. Konqueror or
- Nautilus) as opposed to many other Linux games.
+Running the game
+----------------
- Options can be reached from the menu, so you don't need to specify arguments,
- but if you want, type 'supertux2 --help' to check the ones that are available.
- Also, notice that SuperTux saves the options, so it's often enough to
- specify them once. For example, fullscreen mode causes problems on some setups,
- so just run 'supertux2 --window' and you should be set.

- The game uses OpenGL to render the graphics. You will either need a CPU
- with about 10 GHz or an accelerated video card with the vendor's drivers.
- (On Linux, the team recommends using cards from NVidia with the proprietary
- drivers, but ATI or another vendor should do.)

-##Playing the game
-###Controls
- Both keyboards and joysticks/gamepads are supported. You can change the
- controls via the Options menu. Basically, the only keys you will need to
- use in-game are to do the following actions: jump, duck, right, left, power
- and 'P' to pause/unpause the game. There isn't much to tell about the first
- few, but the "action" key allows you to pick up objects and use any powerup
- you got. For instance, with the fire flower, you can shoot bullets (note
- that this is the only power currently implemented).
- Other useful keys include the Esc key, which is used to go to the menu or
- to go up a level in the menu. The menu can be navigated using the arrow
- keys or the mouse.

- In the worldmap, the arrow keys are used to navigate and Enter to enter
- the current level.

-##Development status
- This version of SuperTux is still under development, even though the
- 0.3 line of versions is somewhat aged. This means that badguys, features,
- levels, graphics or anything else may be removed in the future.
+In the worldmap, the arrow keys are used to navigate and Enter to
+enter the current level.
- Especially the Forest world included in this package may be subject to
- drastic changes. These changes may go as far as removing the world
- altogether. Currently (February 2010) there is no consensus within the
- SuperTux development community regarding the fate of the Forest. Don't get
- too attached to it ;)
