RWMAZE.EXE
=============

rwmaze.exe is a demonstration of RenderWare being used in a "DOOM-like"
application.  The user can wander through a dungeon/maze consisting of rooms 
and interconnecting corridors which are fully textured. In some of the 
rooms are various objects performing full 3D animation in real-time.  
The demo is built with the standard v1.3 RenderWare libraries, so the 
user gets a fully general viewing model which allows the viewer's head 
to be tilted around as they walk with no loss of performance. 

Installation
============
Create a new directory for the demonstration program somewhere on your
hard drive. Make this directory the current directory. Unzip the
demonstration archive as follows:

    pkunzip -d rwmaze.zip

The demonstration program assumes that the scripts and textures it
needs can be found in two sub-directories (called "SCRIPTS" and
"TEXTURES" respectively) of the directory in which the demonstration
executable is located. 


Controls
========
The control is with the mouse only.  When a mouse button goes down a
cross-hair is superimposed on the image and the distance above this
cross-hair controls the speed of forward motion (moving mouse pointer
below the cross-hair will cause reverse movement).  Distance to the left
and right of this cross-hair determines angular speed.  In addition, if
you hold the shift key down while dragging the mouse, the view direction
can be changed to show the completely general nature of the viewing
model and rendering used by RenderWare. (ie the walls and floors don't
have to be vertical or horizontal as in DOOM). 

A few points to note while looking around the dungeon.

When the application begins, you'll be facing down a corridor.  If you
about face and follow the corridor into the first room, you'll see a
lampshade hanging in the air intersecting with a yellow slab.  

The next room along contains a number of sprites.  In RenderWare,
sprites are treated as real 3D objects and can be manipulated in an
identical way as polygonal objects.  As an example of this, we've
applied a semi-opaque material to one of the sprites so you can see
through to the walls behind. By using shift+drag you can look to the
ceiling to see the night sky beyond. 

In another room there is a large letter C spinning around while
altering its opacity causing it to fade-in and fade-out. In the far 
corner is a movie strip running on six faces of a cube. 


The Options Menu consists of:
    HUD

HUD
---
This item toggles an on-screen overlay of the dungeon map.  The white
square represents your current position in the maze.  It is drawn using
standard MoveTo/LineTo GDI calls.

Running the Demonstration
=========================

To execute the demonstration use the Run... menu from either
the Program or File Manager or double click on the executable's
icon in the File Manager window.


Microsoft's WinG API
====================

This demonstration includes support for the beta of Microsoft's
WinG API. WinG provides fast screen updates under Windows. If you
have a copy of the WinG beta installed on your machine you can
have the maze demonstration make use of it by specifying
a command line option, -g, when running the executable.
