omron++ is a pixel AI game with up to four armies of pixels fighting each other. depending on their allegiance, vision range and 'mob size', they will form groups of pixels (called mobs) and go hunting together.

simply follow the menu promptings and enter your choices, then watch the whole thing going.

you can press 's' to take a screenshot, and 'f' to toggle between window and fullscreen. press 'p' or 'pause' to pause the game when in battle. finally, you can toggle playing of sounds via 'm'.

hit 1,2,3 or key 4 to make your army retreat to the dropzone.

for 'advanced' usage type 'omron++ -h' to see the possible commandline arguments. (a special one is '-auto', which runs omron++ in some kind of standalone mode, without the need for user input. instead it randomly chooses the parameters itself. just give it the percentage of the possible maximum values to adjust performance to your machine. makes a nice but resourcehungry screensaver ;-) )

the prerequisites:

- the usual c-compiler with headers and stuff
- libSDL devel package version >= 1.2.0
- libSDL-gfx devel package version >= 2.0.9

to compile:
- type 'make' and cross fingers
- maybe type 'make strip' if you like to
- (you can also have a look into the makefile and turn on some processor specific optimisations ...)

to run:
- unless you compiled with 'make static', you'll need:
- libSDL >= 1.2.0
- libSDL-gfx version >= 2.0.9
- call the 'omron++' binary

to install:
- 'make install' as root
- or copy omron++ binary wherever you like to



that's pretty much it, have fun !
