Description
-----------

XBoing is a blockout type game where you have a paddle which you use to
bounce a ball around the game area blowing up blocks with the ball. You win by
obtaining points for each block destroyed and each level completed. The person
with the highest score wins.

XBOING V 2.4 port under OpenVMS    Dec 1996
===============================

Xboing 2.4 can be built with DEC C on Alpha (etsted with DEC C 5.2 & DEC C 5.2)
and DEC C or GCC on VAX  (DEC C 5.0 or DEC C 5.2, GCC 2.5.8)

You need to define XBOING24_DIR to point a directory where you'll put level
files and high score file:

$ create/dir disk:[directory]
$ set prot=(w:rwe) disk:[directory]
$ define/SYSTEM XBOING24_DIR  disk:[directory]
$ COPY HIGH.SCORE XBOING_24_DIR:* /lo/prot=(w:rwe)
$ set def [.levels]
$ copy *.* XBOING24_DIR:* /lo/prot=(w:re)

Nota: High score is now working !!

OBJ and binaries files are provided (DEC C 5.0, VMS 6.1-1H2 for Alpha; DEC C
5.0 VMS 6.1 and  GCC 2.5.8 VMS 6.1 fro VAX).

If you want to rebuild:

Compilation:
===========
COMPILE_DECC.COM          : compile with DEC C
COMPILE_DECC_AUDIO.COM    : compile with DEC C (with Amd audio support)
COMPILE_GCC.COM           : compile with GCC
COMPILE_GCC_AUDIO.COM     : compile with GCC (with Amd audio support)

Nota: Amd (8 bits 8 Khz) audio support is not really functionnal. I'll try to
implement sound with MMOV (MultiMedia services for OpenVms).
