/ INTRODUCTION: \
/ --------------- \
. * . Koules are one of the greatest games . .
for Linux. This SVGA version supports
high resolution(up 640x480) with cool 256
color graphics and sounds . Koules were
developed from scratch by Jan Hubicka in July
/ 1995. \
/ \ .
/ REQUIREMENTS: \
. / --------------- \
A 386DX+ running Linux(You could try it on a 386SX, but
be aware... It will flicker ). A Coprocessor welcomed.
A graphics card which works with the SVGALIB. .
/ A nice keyboard... \
/ \
/ INSTALL: \
/ ---------- \
You must be 'root' to install the game. Edit the Makefile as
appropriate for your system. On a 486DX2+ with a fast graphics card
select 640x480 version. On slower machines select 320x200 version. And
simply run 'make dep; make' to compile game. Then run 'make install' to
install game. The game consists of the executable file 'koules' which is
placed in /usr/games during installation and sound files placed in
/usr/games/lib/koules. This can be changed by editing SOUNDDIR in Makefile

There is bug in my svgalib.1.2.6:
switch to another console, switch back and press enter it will crash your
computer.It is not koules bug!!! Test it on svgalib/demos/keytest!
