I commend you for takign the time to read the README. Essentially this document is to reference the game content that was not created by us, especially the photographs.

To be honest, we've taken (or thought about taking) without permission, images and textures from

If somehow it makes it through the grapevine to the owners of these photographs and they take exception, then we'll remove them. However, I reckon they'll be good about it, so long as we don't suddenly get rich off it, eh?


This game was written by the team at www.codetactics.com
By team, we mean two of us, and we're not going to say who we are. Our names come up in google too much as it is.

We apologise to all those desiring this code be GPL or some other open source variant. The problem is that this project was started in Feb 2008 as a learning/interest project. I'd be pretty brassed off if some cheeky bugger who's way smarter than us, goes in and does all the improvements that we really wanted to do ourselves. That's pretty much the main reason. It's kind of like not wanting to let anyone else compose a symphony with you. Sure, you'll let them play it, but not write it with you. Hmmm, it just occured to me that someone could take your score and arrange it. Okay, so that metaphor didn't work, but you get what I mean.


Special thanks goes to the guys that ported SDL to the PSP, and made the PSPGL library. Without those libraries, there is very little chance we could have been bothered getting the game to work on PSP.

Enjoy.



=== Installation ===

== PSP ==

Copy the directory 'apollonia' into your games directory. For CFW 3.52 M33-4, it is PSP/GAME352 but will likely be different for each CFW.

== Mac 0SX ==

Drag Apollonia.app into the Applications directory, or run it straight from the dmg.

== Linux ==

You will have to have SDL, SDL_mixer and SDL_ttf libraries installed.
The binary can be run from the command line using ./apollonia if your distro is like mine and it doesn't like being double-clicked.

== Windows ==

Maybe one day we'll make an executable.




=== Known Issues ===

Sometimes textures load incorrectly. i.e. sometimes the text textures get rendered in place of the smoke textures. Only restarting the game fixes this. This happens very rarely though.

Mission 1 might be too hard, but I assure you, it has been beaten on Mac, Linux and PSP.
