nPush

Compiling and running the game
------------------------------

You need a C++ compiler (GCC 3.2 or higher probably) and development version
of ncurses library. When ready, just type:

make

and if you get no errors, run the game:

./npush


How to create levels
--------------------

- Levels are simple textual files without any extension in the file name.
- Just name your level file Level* and the game will pick it up.
- Level files are sorted alphabetically in the menu.

Some rules:

- make sure you have at least one player(@), gold($) and exit(x) in the level
- there can be multiple of all of those (players are switched with TAB key)
- while testing the level, make sure you do it in 80x24 terminal window so
  that it fits on the screen for everyone (maybe scrolling will be implemented
  in some of future versions, but OTOH, the goal of nPush is that levels are
  short and entertaining - long levels tend to get boring and tiresome)

- since level characters are automatically detected, you can use , and ; marks
  if you just want to print those characters on the screen (as comments)
- Comma (,) is used for regular comment, and semi-color (;) for bold letters
- Rest of the line after those two characters is ignored by the game

If you make some levels, make sure you contact us at:
