RWKNIGHT.EXE
============
RWKNIGHT.EXE is a simple MS Windows application which demonstrates the
use of RenderWare in an animated game environment. The demo shows 2
knights battling and the user has the option to interactively alter the
viewpoint.
Installation
============
Create a new directory for the demonstration program somewhere on your
hard drive. Make this directory the current directory. Unzip the
demonstration archive as follows:
pkunzip -d rwknight.zip
The demonstration program assumes that the scripts and textures it
needs can be found in two sub-directories (called "SCRIPTS" and
"TEXTURES" respectively) of the directory in which the demonstration
executable is located.
Running the Demonstration
=========================
To execute the demonstration use the Run... menu from either
the Program or File Manager or double click on the executable's
icon in the File Manager window.
Microsoft's WinG API
====================
This demonstration includes support for the beta of Microsoft's
WinG API. WinG provides fast screen updates under Windows. If you
have a copy of the WinG beta installed on your machine you can
have the knight demonstration make use of it by specifying
a command line option, -g, when running the executable. When using
WinG the "Wing" item of the "Mode" menu is enabled.
By selecting this option the output image will be stretched to twice
it's original rendered size.
