XRally is a linux clone of the classic Rally X arcade game. For
those who don't know, in Rally X you control a blue (good) car,
that has to collect yellow flags around a maze-like map, while
avoiding the red (bad) cars. In order to help himself, the blue
car can use clouds of smoke through the maze. If a enemy touch
any of these clouds, it stops for a while. The enemy cars can
also crash one with the other, what gives you some extra
time.

The controls are pretty simple. Just use the arrow keys to move
around and the space bar to exhaust the smoke.

A lot of the gameplay can be adjusted in the source files. For details of how to do that, take a look at the CONFIG file.

The "Test Level" isn't for being played. It was made to test the
game engine and now is used to test the povrayed graphics I'm
trying to do (but I'm also learning how to use Povray, so
doesn't expect much! The car.pov file is in the directory
images/povray, for those who want to take a look/modify it).

The "Leo Level" is made by my younger brother, Leonardo, and I
don't have any control of it. Any complaints, send email to
leo_ore@zipmail.com.br

The "Real Level" is the one to use if you want only to play the
game. However, it just have two maps by now... any contribution
is deeply appreciated! :)

XRally is written in C, using only the basic Xlib and
Xpm libraries. It's a project aimed mainly at newbie
X/Game programmers like me (but any experienced help is
appreciated! :)  )

We need your help! There are severals ways of you helping the project:

- Create nice looking tilesets. They should be xpms. See the file "tileset" for details
- Create nice levels. See the file "levels" for information
- Help in the development. Any help is greatly appreciated. The TODO file has more information
- Write documentation
- Send bug reports
(the TODO file has a lot of others ideas for those interested in helping)
