- ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
-
- Racing in the Wind (Sailing) is an arcade game, strategy game,
- educational game and simulation all rolled into one.
-
- RITWs has 2 modes - arcade and racing. Arcade mode, you maximize your
- score by playing as many levels as possible. You gain points
- by picking up different types of flotsam while avoiding dangers such
- as various types of mines, hitting a buoy, going outside the course
- limits, taking too long to get round the course and setting your
- spinnaker when not running downwind. All these result in the loss of a
- boat, and a restart at the next level. Run out of boats, and
- the game is over. You can earn an extra boat, up to a maximum of 6,
- every time you clock up another 100000 points. Points are also added
- at the end of each race for speed. So picking up the same amount of
- flotsam in a quicker time will gain you more points.
-
- The registered version of RITWs has 70 levels in all.
-
- In racing mode, the aim is simply to get around the course in the
- shortest possible time. The 3 best times are kept for each of 70
- courses. The courses correspond to the levels in arcade mode, but
- there is no flotsam or mines.
-
- RITWs can be played at 3 levels of difficulty. With 'easy', has just a
- boom to control, besides setting the boat's course. The wind maintains
- a steady direction and strength. 'Medium' adds a jib sail control and
- random wind direction shifts. Finally, 'hard' adds a spinnaker control
- and random gusts to the wind strength.
