Witch 1.1 Readme
================


- This is a fairly final build of Witch - it is feature and content complete.
  I have a few more cosmetic enhancements on my to-do list, but otherwise I 
  consider it finished.

- You can have either 1 or 2 players playing on a single computer, with AI bots
  controlling the other witches. The controls are:

	Forwards:	W or Up
	Back:		S or Down
	Turn left:	A or Left
	Turn right:	D or Right
	Action:		E or Shift

  For details on how to play, see manual.html.


================

Known bugs:

- The Config Window doesn't disappear when the game is started.
  This is partly an Irrlicht thing - even though the config window is drawn using a seperate Irrlicht Device,
  calling device->close() terminates the whole application. While a preferred approach would be to split it 
  into two apps and have the config program write to a file (and therefore avoiding the need to run it every time),
  I want Witch to be able to be run off a CD, which of course means no write access!

- You slightly clip against walls. (Your avatar partly dissappears through them - particularly in castles.lurgy).
  This is because collisions are done against map tile coordinates, not bounding boxes or geometry. It's just a 
  cosmetic thing, the code is working as intended.

If you find anything else, please either email me (address below) or post on the Irrlicht forums!


====================================================================================

Witch is written in C++ and uses Irrlicht (0.14, unmodified) by Nikolaus Gebhardt - http://irrlicht.sf.net
All the art was made in Blender. 
The avatar is in DirectX .x format and exported with Ben Omari's exporter: http://www.omariben.too.it
Everything else is in .oct, using Murphy McCauley's exporter: http://www.constantthought.com

Many thanks to Ben Omari, Murphy McCauley and Nikolaus Gebhardt for their indespensible tools and engine,
and all on the Irrlicht forums for their help!
