If you are unable to run it, it might be because you are missing the glut32.dll file. In that case you will need to put the glut32.dll file in the same directory or the system32 folder in the windows directories. It might be possible that the engine so far will not run under a 64 bit system, especially since the glut32.dll is a 32bit library. The engine comes with a default level, and this level file must be present in the same folder as the exe file, if you are not specifying another level as input. -(02)------- Playing Other Levels ------------- To play a different level than the default provided, you simply have to specify the level file name in an argument following the exe file when running it. For example if you want to run a level called 'Tower.txt', you have to run the exe through a command prompt with the following command: MinigolfEngineNew.exe "Tower.txt" Alternatively you could specify it in an X shortcut. -(03)------------- Controls ------------------- camera controls are now primarily mousemovement the player is still able to move forwards and backwards with up and down key, but now moves the direction of the shot with the left and right key. The mouse controls now both tilting, turning, moving forwards and sideways. However the sideways mouse strafing still needs tuning since it only strafes along the x-axis. KEY UP - Moves the camera forward KEY DOWN - Moves the camera backward KEY PG UP - Moves the camera vertically up KEY PG DOWN - Moves the camera vertically down KEY LEFT - Turns the shot angle left KEY RIGHT - Turns the shot angle right KEY SPACE - Fires a shot with a preset power MSE BUTTON LEFT - Enables tilting and turning MSE BUTTON RIGHT - Enables forward and sideways MSE MOVE LEFT - Strafe or turn left MSE MOVE RIGHT - Strafe or turn right MSE MOVE UP - Forward or tilt up MSE MOVE DOWN - Backward or tilt down
