    Xpool v1.3
    ======

    Xpool is a  X window game which simulates a billiard game by using an
    approach called Discrete Element Method(DEM).

    First of all, I would like to thank to those of you who were really kind to
    send very nice comments about the game. Looks like many people really enjoyed
    the game.

    I finally got some spare time and fixed some stupid bugs in the program, now
    it runs better and handles a lot of stuff more properly. This version still
    uses floating values, so you still need a fast CPU , but I am planning
    to switch to integer values, and do some other optimizations so that the game
    will run on slower CPUs too.  I am working on(almost done)  the network version
    of Xpool that lets two people play against each other. It will mainly use Xt/athena
    , so this will be  the last version that uses pure Xlib (right? ;-))

    In order to compile;

    if you have GNU C, just type

    $ make -f Makefile.std

    ----------------------------
    if you have 'xmkmf & imake'

    $ xmkmf

    and

    $ make

    ----------------------------

    rules:
        Check man pages for rules.
          (nroff -man xpool.1 | page)

    If you have any question/comments, you can  send your email to
    iarit@tara.mines.colorado.edu
    but, I will be done with the school this summer(93) and start worring about
    some other problems, like how to find a job, and pay $40,000 education
    loan :-(, so I will be real busy. If I can't reply to your email, I
    apologize for that.
    I will post my new email address(probably, from Turkiye) with the next release
    of Xpool.

    Happy playing,
    IstakayI kIrma Haaa..!!!!( Don't break the cue stick OKKKKKKKK.!!)

    Not: If you are interested in the theory, get a printout of the file
     'theory.ps'. It shows you the basic idea behind this game.
