WHAT IS XSNAKE

  XSnake is the Window version of the SNAKE game (a classic
 of the 1st arcade games). On this game you move a snake over
 the screen, collecting apples, which makes the snake larger.
 After collecting 25 apples, you go to a new level where you
 get MORE larger for each apple you get. The goal is just to
 reach the further level you can, collecting the more apples
 possible, and so, trying to do the best possible score in
 the hi-score chart.

  It's something like:




(the games supports English too, by detecting the LANG variable)



  It's just a simple and adictive game... it only requires X,
 Imlib and libjpeg to play, and the entire game is about 70Kb
 in size...

  Executing xsnake --help you get the following info:

 Program usage:       xsnake [options]
   OPTIONS:
       --help            This help.
       --big             Big screen game.
       --extrabig        Extra big screen game.

   KEYS:
       Cursors           Change snake's direction.
       ESCAPE            Exit game.
       Space             Pause / resume game.

DOWNLOAD SECTION
  You can download the latest version of XSNAKE in source
  code format (tar.gz) on this page:

   Download xsnake-2.0.tar.gz (33Kb - requires Imlib)
   Download xsnake-2.0-1.i386.rpm (33Kb - requires Imlib)
   Download xsnake-2.0-1.src.rpm (33Kb - requires Imlib)


  Contains the following:

       GNU_License         Makefile           images            xsnake.c
       INSTALL.castellano  README.castellano  vars.h
       INSTALL.english     README.english     xsnake-uninstall

  Read the INSTALL file to know how to install it (well, it's just
  make + make install). You can uninstall the program at any moment
  by running the script xsnake-uninstall.


  If someone wants to build RPM or DEB packages for this game,
  please let me know to include them here... As this is an small
  (and I hope stable too) game, it will be very nice to include
  it on Redhat/Suse/Esware/Slack/Debian distributions :)

HOW TO BUILD AND INSTALL XSNAKE

   If you got those sources on tar.gz format, unpack them
 and build the xsnake binary by executing the following
 (as root):

      tar xvzf xsnake-2.0.tar.gz
      cd xsnake-2.0
      make
      make install

 Maybe you'll just prefer rpm -i or rpm --rebuild from the
 .i386 or src RPM packages... :-)

TO DO LIST
  - Add sound... if someone can add a SoundCard detection routine
    and .raw or .wav playing functions, I will be very grateful...
