****************************** * Quakanoid * * * * An unofficial production * * nihilism Unlimited * ****************************** This little project spawned quite a while ago out of boredom and a keen appreciation of the classic arcade game 'Arkanoid'. It is a very loose adaptation of the original, and was made just for kicks. It is not finished or polished, for it was not meant to be. We still think its nifty, and felt you might like to see it also. With Quake2 swiftly approaching we don't plan on working further on it. Just enjoy it for what it is. ;-) Instructions ------------ Just like normal. Unzip into a directory beneath your Quake directory. Start Quake with: quake -game [directory you put it in] You will immediately be thrown into the first level. Press +attack (shoot) to start the action. You will control the paddle with the keyboard. Currently: 'y' will give the paddle velocity to the left, 'u' will stop the paddle, and 'i' will give the paddle velocity to the right. Stopping the paddle is key to proper control, especially when you are switching directions. You may change what keys you use by binding the following impulses to different keys. Impulse 50 - left velocity Impulse 51 - stop Impulse 52 - right velocity There are 3 levels that you will cycle through. After each level the ball's speed increases. You get an additional ball every 500 points. Break all the bricks to complete the level; some will take more than one hit to destroy. Some powerups allow you to shoot, you can use the +attack button to do so.
