Friq

Friq 0701-2 for Linux
=====================

A port of the GP2X game by Sebastian to other Linux platforms.

Read the original README.gp2x for information bearing in mind it's
describing a different platform with a different directory structure :-

* ./res/music.txt is now ~/.friq/music.txt
* ./res/colors.txt is now ~/.friq/colors.txt
* ./res/options is now ~/.friq/options


Compiling
=========

See the file COMPILING.


Volume
======

The volume starts low so press the volume up key a few times for it to
become audible. You'll only have to do this once as it gets saved.

===========

Escape - Exit back to Linux
Enter - Start or stop a game
