-[![Build Status](https://github.com/benmwebb/dopewars/workflows/build/badge.sv… | |
-[![Download dopewars drug dealing game](https://img.shields.io/sourceforge/dt/… | |
- | |
-This is dopewars 1.6.1, a game simulating the life of a drug dealer in | |
-New York. The aim of the game is to make lots and lots of money... | |
-unfortunately, you start the game with a hefty debt, accumulating interest, | |
-and the cops take a rather dim view of drug dealing... | |
- | |
-These are brief instructions; see the HTML documentation for full information. | |
- | |
-dopewars 1.6.1 servers should handle clients as old as version 1.4.3 with | |
-hardly any visible problems (the reverse is also true). However, it is | |
-recommended that both clients and servers are upgraded to 1.6.1! | |
- | |
-## Installation | |
- | |
-Either... | |
- | |
-1. Get the relevant RPM from https://dopewars.sourceforge.io/ | |
- | |
-Or... | |
- | |
-1. Get the tarball `dopewars-1.6.1.tar.gz` from the same URL | |
-2. Extract it via `tar -xvzf dopewars-1.6.1.tar.gz` | |
-3. Follow the instructions in the `INSTALL` file in the newly-created | |
- `dopewars-1.6.1` directory | |
- | |
-Once you're done, you can safely delete the RPM, tarball and dopewars | |
-directory. The dopewars binary is all you need! | |
- | |
-dopewars stores its high score files by default in `/usr/share/dopewars.sco` | |
-This will be created by make install or by RPM installation. A different high | |
-score file can be selected with the `-f` switch. | |
- | |
-## Windows installation | |
- | |
-dopewars now compiles as a console or regular application under Win32 (Windows… | |
-or later). Almost all functionality of the standard Unix binary is retained; | |
-for example, all of the same command line switches are supported. However, for | |
-convenience, the configuration file is the more Windows-friendly | |
-"dopewars-config.txt". | |
- | |
-The easiest way to install the Win32 version is to download the precompiled | |
-binary. To build from source, see the `win32` directory. | |
- | |
-## Usage | |
- | |
-dopewars has built-in client-server support for multi-player games. For a | |
-full list of options configurable on the command line, run dopewars with | |
-the `-h` switch. | |
- | |
-`dopewars -a` | |
-This is "antique" dopewars; it tries to keep to the original dopewars, based | |
-on the "Drug Wars" game by John E. Dell, as closely as possible. | |
- | |
-`dopewars` | |
-By default, dopewars supports multi-player games. On starting a game, the | |
-program will attempt to connect to a dopewars server so that players can send | |
-messages back and forth, and shoot each other if they really want to... | |
- | |
-`dopewars -s` | |
-Starts a dopewars server. This sits in the background and handles multi-player | |
-games. You probably want to use the `-l` command line option too to direct its | |
-log output to somewhere sensible. | |
- | |
-`dopewars -c` | |
-Create and run a computer dopewars player. This will attempt to connect | |
-to a dopewars server, and if this succeeds, it will then participate in | |
-multi-player dopewars games. | |
- | |
-## Configuration | |
- | |
-Most of the dopewars defaults (for example, the location of the high score fil… | |
-the port and server to connect to, the names of the drugs and guns, etc.) can … | |
-configured by adding suitable entries to the dopewars configuration file. The | |
-global file `/etc/dopewars` is read first, and can then be overridden by | |
-the local settings in `~/.dopewars`. All of the settings here can also be | |
-set on the command line of an interactive dopewars server when no players | |
-are logged on. See the file "example-cfg" for an example configuration file, | |
-and for a brief explanation of each option, type "help" in an interactive | |
-server. A subset of the configuration options can also be tweaked via the | |
-"Options" menu item in the GTK+/Win32 client. | |
- | |
-## Playing | |
- | |
-dopewars is supposed to be fairly self-explanatory. You should be able to | |
-pick the basics up fairly quickly, but still be discovering subtleties for | |
-_ages_ ;) If you're _really_ stuck, send me an email. I might even answer it! | |
- | |
-Clue: buy drugs when they're cheap, sell them when they're expensive. The Bronx | |
-and Ghetto are "special" locations. Anything more would spoil the fun. ;) | |
- | |
-## Bugs | |
- | |
-Well, there are bound to be lots. Let me know if you find any by | |
-[opening an issue](https://github.com/benmwebb/dopewars/issues), and I'll see | |
-if I can fix 'em... of course, a | |
-[working patch](https://github.com/benmwebb/dopewars/pulls) would be even | |
-nicer! ;) | |
