|=======Intro:
Ahh, so you've downloaded Space Shoot Out. Well get ready, for in my opinion the best
space shooter for Ti-89! This game features 6 levels with new enemies and obstacles for
each. There is also a story and a shop for each level. Enemies don't just drop from the
screen and stay there until you kill them all - they follow patterns specific to their
type and fire different. There is also a boss for each level with a different pattern
for you to learn.



|=======Installing:
Send spacedat.89y and spaceso.89z to you calculator.
Make sure a kernel like DoorsOs or PreOS is installed.. if not get one! (I tested with \ use Preos)
its best to archive them since the game likes ram, ALOT
if the game can't decompress from a memory error, just delete or archive stuff lying around in ram
it's been tested on hw 2.03 (vti) and 2.05 (my real ti 89) however it should be compatible with
hw 1.0 and above



|=======Keys:
-Movement
[ /\ ] = Moves Ship Up
[ \/ ] = Moves Ship Down
[ <  ] = Moves Ship Left
[ >  ] = Moves Ship Right
-Other
[APPS] = Pauses Game (Press Again To Un-Pause)
[ ESC] = Exits The Game*
[CATALOG] = Goes To The Shop In-Game

*In the past (not recently) the game would crash on exit. Through out the development of this game
the problem would haunt me.. But i did fix it and it hasn't happened recently so it should be safe..
and if it does and you have stuff in ram, thats a lesson to ya bout' archiving stuff



|=======Playing:
-READ each story before the level begins! They'll give you help - or instructions on how to beat
 that level!
-To shoot: press 2nd
-When you see an enemy kill it! if it drops money be sure to pick it up since there is a shop
 at then end of each level!
-Crashing into ANYTHING causes you to loose health - drive carefully
-To select a weapon, press 1-9 and its icon will appear in the upper right (NOTE: you must buy
 more weapons first, when the game starts you only given weapon #1
-When the boss appears give'm hell and he'll go away!
-If you die at any point, you will respawn on screen with nothing changed.. you DON'T loose weapons
-To pause press [APPS]
-To exit press [ESC]
-When you beat the game for the FIRST TIME (per session) it will show the credits and then show the
 Ranking Screen
-You get an extra live every 10,000 points.. also it shows the number of lives you have in the lower
 right..



|=======The Shop:
-I think the prices are fair, since in the first version you could get a damn powerful weapon from
 the money collected in the first level!
-You can acces the shop at any time (Cept' for level screens, once you kill a boss or after\during credits)
 by pressing the [APPS] key! Now thats handy!

|=======Ranking Screen:
-At then end of the game, it will show you you how well you did.. it then it totals your score
-You get a better score if you beat the game with the weapon you start with AND DON"T BUY ANY OTHERS
-You also get a bonus for having lots of extra lives at the end



|=======Stuff To Know:
-When you respawn your vunerable.. this is a problem on the second boss.. TIP: when you start the
 second boss, go LEFT immediately
-No High Scores =(
-There is a cheat.. you have to enter it in the pause menu.. heres a hint: its ten key strokes long
 and the first eight are the same as the Sonic The Hedgehog 3 debug cheat. This unlocks "Debug Mode"
 which i used to test the game so i didnt have to play thru each time if i wanted to test a later level
 NOTE: If you find the cheat before you beat the game once (it tells you after you beat it) don't use it!
       the game is more fun to play the way it was meant to be played!



|=======Cheat "Debug Mode" Keys:
[ + ] = Skips To Next Level
[ - ] = Goes Back A Level
[ * ] = "Fast Forwards The Game" - certain events happen at a certain progress through the level, ie:
	boss fights all ways happen in a specific but different point in each level.. pressing this
	will make the level progress go forward
[ \ ] = Does The Opposite Of [ * ]
[ENTER] = Toggles Rapid Fire On\Off
[1-9] = All Weapons Are Unlocked In Debug Mode



|=======Known Bugs:
-Hmm.. I'm Not Gonna Tell You Any Cause' You Probably Won't Notice Them, Unless Their Pointed Out!
