-Variations on Rockdodger
-
-VoR is a quick action game where you drive a space ship and try to avoid
-crashing into rocks. Current information about vor can be found on the
-homepage: http://herkamire.com/jason/vor
-
-See INSTALL for instructions on building, running and installing.
-
-Jason Woofenden and Josh Grams like Rock Dodgers
-(http://spacerocks.sourceforge.net/) very much: both playing it and hacking on
-it. VoR is the result. It is currently based on the rockdodger 0.4.2 codebase,
-with quite a few modifications, both user-visible changes and internal
-technical improvements.
-
-Available for download from http://qualdan.com/vor/, or you can check out the
-latest SVN copy from http://josh.qualdan.com:3/svn/vor/trunk/ (Warning: Not
-Always On).
-
-Note: This is a fairly hard game, intended to be a quickie game for when you
-want to kill a few spare minutes. For reference, my best time [Josh Grams] is
-about 2 minutes in version 0.3. I'm not generally very good at video games, but
-I have been playing this one for quite a while now. However, you can make it
-substantially easier by slowing the game down. New in version 0.2, we have a
-constant GAMESPEED in config.h. New players may like to try it at 3/4 or even
-2/3 speed.  It should probably be a command-line option, but I'm too lazy to
-fix that right now.

-Changes from Rock Dodgers
-
-User-Visible Changes:
-
-0.1:
-  * Moves like a real spacecraft; no more friction!
-  * No more silly shields or lasers; just pure rockdodgin' fun!
-  * Up/down scrolling; gives you more escape options.
-  * Proper time display for score, not just raw milliseconds (bleh).
-  * Ship explodes, blowing rocks away, rather than automagically vanishing
-    them.
-0.2:
-  * New graphics, generated by POV-Ray. Yeah, okay, the ship is really cheezy.
-    At least the rocks are cool.
-  * Real collision detection; no more "ship is 1 pixel bigger all around
-    than it looks."
-0.3:
-  * Scrolls to the right so you can zoom ahead.
-  * Fully random rock generation; rocks no longer wrap vertically.
-  * Rocks' relative speeds are now uniform in all directions (i.e. much more
-    up/down speed variation).  Noticeably hard...err...more "interesting".
-
-Internal Technical Changes:
-
-  * Upgraded to SFont 2.03, which has way less cruft, but no text input
-    routine.
-  * Started factoring a lot of stuff out of main into their own .c files.
-  * Removed a bunch of unused code.
-  * Function definitions: name at beginning of line (line following the return
-    type) for easy grepping as per GNU coding standards.
-  * Real collision detection (bbox/bitmask).
