technical:

should run on 64 meg. If it is running slowly, change the bits to 16 (see below)
32 meg may be able to run, but the "Num_Star: 100" should be lower (see below)

I have turned off the debuger as this was writting information that is only useful 
to myself. I have reduced the number of worlds to 75. this is much faster and 
suficient at this stage to get a feelfor the game if you want to see the game with more words, 
change "Num_Star: 100" in the input.txt file in the debug folder to "Num_Star: 249" (max for the moment). 

the screen size will now be set automaticaly from the size used at desktop

it should now be possible to run the game with 16 bits graphics.
the default is 32 bits. to change this, set in the input.txt file
the line:

bits_color: 32

may be changed to:-

bits_color: 16

or (not tested):- 

bits_color: 24 (unstable)

What is this version:

Free game in Alpha stages.
Very stable version (runs with few serious bugs).
program is not yet "playable"
but can be "played about with" 
this version gives a sence of things to come

How can I Help?:
