============================================================
Speeder is a racing game. Where you race laps against the
computer and the clock. Take out the competiton by ramming, lazers,
missiles, and seekers.
============================================================
Misc. keys:
ESC - Quit game
P - Pause game
M - Display (heap) memory usage
+ - Make game slow
- - Make game fast
Player's keys:
Motion: (keypad)
┌───┬───┬───┐

Toggle autopilot mode: A
Shoot (missiles or lazers): SPACE
Change flight mode: ENTER
There are two flight modes:
1. Rotate mode - Rotate mode is similar to the old arcade game
Asteroids. Motion is controlled by rotating the ship to
the direction you want (clockwise or counter-clockwise)
and pressing a thrust key. So the player's motion keys
follows:
┌─────────┬─────────┬─────────┐
│rotate cc│forward │rotate c │
│& fwd thr│ thrust │& fwd thr│
├─────────┼─────────┼─────────┤
│rotate │forward │rotate │
│counter-c│ thrust │clock-wz │
├─────────┼─────────┼─────────┤
│rotate cc│reverse │rotate c │
│& rev thr│ thrust │& rev thr│
└─────────┴─────────┴─────────┘
2. Direction mode - Direction mode, is your basic mode. Up will
go up, down will go down, left..left, etc. Unlike most games
which automatically change to that particular direction, the
ship will rotate to that direction. So the player's motion keys
follows as:
┌─────────┬─────────┬─────────┐
│up-left │ up │up-right │
│ │ │ │
├─────────┼─────────┼─────────┤
│left │ │right │
│ │ │ │
├─────────┼─────────┼─────────┤
│down-left│ down │down- │
│ │ │ right │
└─────────┴─────────┴─────────┘
So pressing the UP key will automatically rotate the ship
until it is facing up. UP-LEFT will rotate the ship to a
45 degree angle facing up-left.
