1.Installation
================================================================
After you've downloaded the installer, just double-click it and follow the
instructions. For the archive, extract the 'Zombie Buster 2 - Annihilation v.2.1.99.1' folder, and you
are ready to play.

Note: the game may require "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package MFC Security Update" 
in order to run properly.



2.General info
================================================================
Rendering engine:		Irrlicht 1.7.1 
Physics:			bullet - 2.77 + Bennu Wrapper
A.I.:				IrrAI 0.5
Sound:				IrrKlang 1.3.0

The sistem requirements of this game are pretty low. You will probably be OK
with about 1 GHz processor; 256 MB of RAM; >250 MB of free space and a 
graphics card with 64 MB RAM ( maybe even 32 - probably the game will run 
on a system even slower than the one I've described ).

The game is basically a shooter with cars added on top of it...so...have fun!!

4.Known bugs
================================================================

If you receive the infamous "This application has failed to start because the application 
configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem" ( under Windows XP )
or “This application has failed to start because it's side-by-side-configuration is incorrect” 
( Windows Vista, 7 ), you should install: 
"Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package MFC Security Update" in order to
start the application. Just googling the title above will get you to the correct download page.

While in windowed mode, if you will try to take a screenshot the game will 
crash...some sort of irrlicht bug.

On my pc some graphic artefacts appeared while using direct 3D 9 & 8 driver.
If these artefacts appear, activate vsync from the options menu. If the problem persists, 
then, hitting alt+tab will reset the video device and the artefacts will disappear, surprisingly enough.

The engine's accelerating sound can stop.



5.Here is a list of all the programs I've used while making this game:

6.Uninstalling
================================================================
Go to start/control panel/add or remove programs/ select 'Zombie Buster 2 - Annihilation'
and then click remove. If you used the .rar archive just delete the folder containing the game, typically
that's called 'Zombie Buster 2 - Annihilation v.2.1.99.1'.



7.Thanks & Final thoughts
================================================================
First of all I want to thank to all the programmers that have made their work
open-source.. I have found alot of usefull snippets of code that have been 
very usefull.
I want to thank the irrlicht community because I've solved quite alot of 
problems concerning the game with a few searches in the forum.
Also, thanks to:

Armen138 for decalscenenode.cpp/.h 

enif for BtRayCar_example ( http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=36237 )

Auradrummer has also helped me with a lot of good tips

I have used the files configuration.cpp/.h to save the options of the game into
an xml file.. but I can't remember the author, so if someone recognize 
his/hers work, please contact me and I will add you to credits.

I don't know if the names mentioned before are the rightful authors of 
the respective files...if I have made any mistakes, please contact me.
Thank you...

Also, except some textures from the Irrlicht SDK and IrrAI SDK, all
of the models, textures and sounds were made by me and you cannot use them 
without my permission.
