GETTING STARTED                                                                      
---------------------
Hello, and welcome to my first decent game.  I don't really know wether this
part is needed, because I bet you've played the game before reading this :)
But anyways, if you are a computer illiterate dumbass then heres what to do:

1. Unzip the game anywhere on your computer.

2. This is what the different EXE files do.

skate.exe - The main game
leved.exe - The level editor
linker.exe - Put your levels in order

3. To see controls, go to the next section.



CONTROLS
---------------------
When you are on the ground, this is what the keys do:
c - cheat menu
left - deccelerate
right - accelerate
down - crouch (makes you ollie higher)
up - ollie
                                                                      
Once you have popped a fat ollie or rolled off a ledge, heres the keys:

left - shovit
right - grab                                                                      
down - kickflip
left then up - 360
down then up - impossible

For the level editor, the keys are:

a - left
d - right
s - down
w - up
< or , - previous tile
> or . - next tile
space bar - place tile

M - save map
L - load map
                                                                      
Sorry about the shat controls, but it was going to be only for my use.
Please don't bitch to me about it.
                                                                      


CHEATS                                                                      
---------------------
Enter these cheats at the cheat prompt (c key).
All of the numbers must have 4 digits. eg if you want 3, you would write 3.00

Set_Grav xxxx        -Changes gravity
Set_Mins xxxx        -Minimum speed setting. Using this you can skate nolly
Set_Maxs xxxx        -Maximum speed setting
Next_Lev             -Next level                                                                      


EDITING
---------------------
One of the coolest things in this game is that you can make your own levels.
To make them you will need to use two programs - leved.exe and linker.exe
The level editor is pretty easy to use, just see the controls above.
The linker however, is not. I was in a rush to make it, I really didn't want
to waste time on it. Here is how to use it, step by step.

1. Input a name for the link file. This is what the game will open.

2. Input how many levels (screens) long this link file will be. eg If you
have got 10 levels you would input 10.

3. Enter each level file name, one by one.

4. Once you have entered enough filenames, the program will end.

5. Load up skate.exe and go to "custom level". Enter the name of your link
file. Have fun!
