---------------------
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 by direct Paula access and
possibly with AHI.
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
you wish. However, Lambda currently always uses
a screen size of 320x200.
RUNNING
After you have saved your settings from the Setup program you
can run the main executable called "Lambda".
