<h1><a name="download">Download</a></h1>
Download the self-extracting <a href="http://aluminumangel.org/cgi-bin/download_counter.cgi?attack_windows+attack/CAInstaller.exe">Crack Attack! for Windows Installer</a> here.</a>

<h1><a name="installation">Installation</a></h1>
<ol>
<li><a href="http://aluminumangel.org/cgi-bin/download_counter.cgi?attack_windows+attack/CAInstaller.exe">Download</a>
the Crack Attack! Installer.
<li>Run the downloaded file, which will be named <code>CAInstaller.exe</code>.
<li>Find Crack Attack! in your Start menu or on your Desktop and click to play!
</ol>

<h1><a name="trouble shooting">Trouble Shooting</a></h1>

<li>If your OpenGL graphics card drivers are not up to date, that may cause
problems.  Check your graphics card manufacturer's web site for updates.  Older
versions of the ATI Rage drivers actually cause Crack Attack! to crash.  The
latest versions do not.
<li>If Crack Attack! gives you an error because you are missing
<code>MSVBVM60.DLL</code>, you will have to download it:
<a href="http://aluminumangel.org/downloads/msvbvm60.zip">
<code>MSVBVM60.ZIP</code></a>.  UnZip the file into your system folder.  This
folder could have any number of names, depending upon the version of Windows
you're using.  The name will be something along the lines of
<code>WinNT\System</code> or <code>Win98\System32</code>.  Once
<code>MSVBVM60.DLL</code> is in the correct folder, Crack Attack! will run
fine.
<li>Something went wrong?  Let me know!  It's probably my fault.  I don't have
access to a particularly diverse set of machines, so I need your input.
</ol>

<h1><a name="starting">Starting a Game</a></h1>
Crack Attack! can be played both online against an opponent or offline on your
own.  It runs in one of three modes: client or server mode for two player
online play and solo mode for offline play.  To play an online game, one player
must act as the server, while the second player must connect to that server as
a client.
<br><br>
If normal graphics mode is too much for your computer to handle, switch to low
quality graphics mode.  The game will play smoother and the controls will be
more responsive.

When entering your name, the tilde (<code>~</code>) acts as an escape
character, with the following escape sequences available.

If you are interested in the source code, download the Linux tarball.  The
source code compiles under both Linux and Windows, and will run from the DOS
shell using the command-line options described in the <a
href="dl_ii_linux.html">Linux Download and Installation</a> page.  Winzip can
be used to unpack the tarball.  Contact me if you are having trouble setting up
the proper project environment under which to compile Crack Attack!.
