HankSmash is free software released under the Gnu Public License 3. The entire text of that license is available in COPYING.phm. 

Important: HankSmash is essentially a bambam clone, though over time more features will be added so as to further distinguish it from bambam. Thus it is that credit is due to the following four individuals who developed bambam:

Don Brown
Spike Burch
Marcin Owsiany
Bram Meleman

HankSmash requires PyGame to run. If you do not presently have PyGame and you are on a Debian-based system, run:

sudo apt-get install pygame

Now:

1. Unpack HankSmash 
2. Make hanksmash.py and hanksmash.6 executable: 
	chmod +x hanksmash.py hanksmash.6
3. Launch the game:
	python hanksmash.py
	or
	python hanksmash.py --uppercase
			[for uppercase letters to be displayed instead of lowercase letters]
		Important: to quit, type out the word
												quit 
4. Optionally, you can choose to mute some or all of the sound effects in HankSmash. 
	To mute only a specified noise, do
		python hanksmash.py --sound_blacklist data/sounds/<filename>.wav
			
			NOTE: FILES.phm lists all sound and image files included in the data folder, complete with path.
			
	To mute all noise before the game even starts, do
		python hanksmash.py --sound_blacklist *
	If you mute all noises before you begin, you will have to restart the program in order to use ANY noises.
	So, in many cases you may just want to type out
													mute
	to make it go silent and then 
													unmute
	to bring the sound back.

5. When your child or you are done with the program, type out the word
																		quit
