This is the executable for Amiga PPC (WarpOS), using StormMesa.

  History
  -------

  0.2   Fixed the keyboard bug. The game is playable now. Sorry to
        those who downloaded 0.1 already. Please refer to the updated
        documentation for all game keys.
  0.3   Joystick and -pad support through lowlevel.library. If you're
        using a CD³² pad, RED is fire, FORWARD/REVERSE is right/left roll.
  0.3a  Fixed the problem of joy fire when moving.
  0.4   Added sound through ahi.device.
  0.4a  Fixed a sound routine bug (reported by Andreas Hippauf).
  0.4b  Really fixed the 0.4 bug ;)
  0.5   Fixed memory leak in screenshot function (PPMs are still saved
        mirrored). Some minor optimizations.
  0.5a  Fixed distorted 8bit sample playback. Some minor optimizations.
  0.6   Use 'lucyplay.library', gives better joystick handling. Fixed
        some broken GL code ( glBegin() without glEnd() ).

Known bugs:

  - Mouse doesn't work correctly. Press 'M' to turn it off.
    I'll fix this.

  - No networking.
    No experience with this topic. Need some help! Could someone please
    have a look at 'client.c', 'server.c' and 'network.c'?

  - Y and Z keys should be swapped for German keyboards.
    I'll surely implement this.
