Inside the game application directory is a configuration file named !Config. Loading this into a text editor will allow you to change the game options.
Initially, the options are set to:
Lives=5
Level=0
Changing the value after the equals sign (=) will allow you to change the number of lives and the initial level you start with.
Two additional parameters have been added to control the display.
SingleHeight
Set this parameter to 1 to force 640x256 256 colour mode.
RetroFont
Set this parameter to 1 to use a scaled version of the system
font instead of outline font used currently.
COMPATIBILITY
-------------
This version uses a 256 colour mode to make it compatible with the
Iyonix. It should also work on any machine using RISC OS 3.6+.
The game looks best if the monitor supports a 640x512 256 colour
mode, but will fall back to 640x256 256 colour if the monitor
doesn't support 640x512.
KNOWN ISSUES
------------
None.
