------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 general:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the goal of the game is to stomp the other marios as often as possible.

controls:
	          left  right  jump
	player 1: cursor keys
	player 2: a     d      w
	player 3: h     k      u
	player 4: lmb   rmb    lmb+rmb / NUM1 NUM5 NUM 3 (if mousecontrol is off)

	menu: cursor keys + enter
		mode selection: press enter to increase the gamemode value
		player selection: press cursor_right more than 4 times to switch on computer marios ("CPU")
		
XBox-Controls:
	"A"-Button -> Enter
	DigitalGamepad
	Black-Button -> ESC


a map editor is also included, but all maps are saved to ZZleveleditor.map.
if you want to keep a map you'll have to rename it.

leveleditor controls:
	space: switch edit / tile mode
	ESC:   save and quit
	
	edit mode:
		mouse left: place tile
		mouse right: erase tile
	tile mode:
		mouse left: choose tile
		mouse right: change tile type (red box... solid, blue box... solid on top, nothing: non solid)


i hope you enjoy the game!

 compiling for xbox:
   the xbox-port uses the libSDLx v0.09 which is slightly modified. a (known) 
   bug for dpad-movement is fixed (already explained in the SDLx-forum). so
   I only release the lib and hope the bug is fixed in the new version, too.

 notes:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i know that some things in the code are very ugly and might contain some bugs,
but i want to get the game done and continue with jnrdev.

when writing the jnrdev tutorials dealing with those parts of the code i'll
revisit it. i hope to have better solutions until then.
(those parts are mainly player-player collision detection and some of the code
for appearing on both sides of the screen (moving over the edge of the screen)
).


known bugs:


top tile row is bad
 -> i know - don't place tiles there, maybe i'll fix it somewhen

collision detection is not 100% accurate when standing
 -> don't worry, this is supposed to be like that.
	the player sprite is smaller then the collision detection area,
	so it just looks wrong.


you can get the whole source code at http://jnrdev.weed-crew.net/smw
take a look at how the thing works.txt and dev-diary.txt for further
source related informations.
