---------------------
Lambda is a project to create a 3D space combat game like X-Wing and
Wing Commander.
SUPPORT
Lambda supports AGA, CyberGraphX and Picasso96. In the future audio
will probably be supported with AHI which also offers a fast DMA mode
for slow Amigas.
SETTING UP
Before you can run Lambda, you will need to set it up to suit your
system. This is done with the program called Setup. It must be located
in the same directory as the main executable file.
With Setup you can edit the following preferences:
Screenmode...
This gadget brings up a standard screenmode requester
with which you can choose any mode and screen size you
wish. Note that the width of the screen will be rounded
down to a 64 pixel boundary.
Enable mouse
This option enables the mouse control. Due to the
internals of the operating system enabling mouse
control might slow the game down slightly.
Elite controls
This gadget selects whether you want to control roll
instead of yaw with left/right keys or joystick
directions.
Background fog
Toggles the state of the blue nebula/fog cloud
background. Enabling the background will slow the game
down a great deal, but it looks much better than the
normal a black space.
Missile trails
Selects whether to have rockets and missiles leave
behind a trail of smoke. Enabling missile trails will
slow the game down slightly.
RUNNING
After you have saved your settings from the Setup program you
can run the main executable called "Lambda".
