DESCRIPTION

-----------

  SuperTux is a jump'n run like game, with strong inspiration from the

  Super Mario Bros games for Nintendo.



  Run and jump through multiple worlds, fighting off enemies by jumping

  on them or bumping them from below.  Grabbing power-ups and other stuff

  on the way.



STORY

-----



- Penny gets captured! -



  Tux and Penny were out having a nice

  picnic on the ice fields of Antarctica.

  Suddenly, a creature jumped from

  behind an ice bush, there was a flash,

  and Tux fell asleep!



  When Tux wakes up, he finds that Penny

  is missing. Where she lay before now

  lies a letter. "Tux, my arch enemy!"

  says the letter. "I have captured

  your beautiful Penny and have taken her

  to my fortress. The path to my fortress

  is littered with my minions. Give up on

  the thought of trying to reclaim her,

  you haven't a chance! -Nolok"



  Tux looks and see Nolok's fortress in

  the distance. Determined to save his

  beloved Penny, he begins his journey.

    LEVELDESIGN - Very useful information for those that want to design

                  levels for SuperTux.



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 (ie. Konqueror,

  Nautilus) as oposited to most of Linux games.



  Options can be reached from the menu, so you don't need to specify arguments,

  but if you want, type 'supertux --help' to check the ones that are avaible.

  Also, notice that SuperTux saves the options, so you don't need to be allways

  specifying them.



  The game has two frontends: SDL and OpenGL. Currently, there isn't any

  noticiable difference between them. Basically, SDL uses software to draw

  the game and OpenGL makes use of the videocards CPU (if the videocard has

  one and the drivers support it). Under linux, nVidia is recommendaded

  (with the closed drivers), but an ATI video card should work just fine.



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. I don't think there is anything to

  explain about the others, but the power key, also called run, allow you

  to run and use the power of the 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 enters the

  current level.



  The leveleditor is controled via the mouse, but there are shortcuts that

  may make your life easier. To see the shortcuts for the buttons, just

  do a Right-click on them. If you are interested in creating SuperTux

  levels, we advise you to read LEVELDESIGN to learn more about the editor

  and creating new levels.



SCREEN LAYOUT

-------------

  Status

  ------

    The amount of time you have left to complete this level is displayed in

    the center at the top of the screen.  (Note: Time is NOT in seconds!)



    The number of coins you have collected is displayed at the upper right.



SCORING

-------

  Enemies

  -------

    If you kill more than one enemy at a time without landing on the ground,

    each enemy is worth more points.  For example, if there are three in a

    row and you jump on the first, it's worth 50 points.  If you bounce off

    the first and onto the second, it's worth 100 points.  If you also get

    the third, it's worth 150 points.



    You can also score by shooting at the enemies. Don't forget to get

    the iceflower in order to get the ability to fire.
