Waternet For the GP2X For Windows 14/04/2007
--------------------------------------------


What is it
----------
Waternet is a puzzle game where you to connect pipes to each other so that water flows through it.
You can do this depending on the game mode in 3 ways : by sliding rows and columns, rotating invidual
pipes or by doing both at the same time. Waternet has 3 difficulties each difficulty has 2 grid sizes
and 20 static levels which makes a total of 180 static levels. Besides static levels there's also a
random mode for each difficulty where levels will be generated on the fly for u to play.

How to use
----------
Arrow keys : Select next menu item, game mode or difficulty, move the selector around in the game mode.
Space,Enter : Proceed with the selected menu item, game mode or difficulty. Rotate a piece or slide a piece
				  when being pressed on the arrows.
Escape : Goto previous menu / Quit game at title screen
PageDown : Change to Previous skin, this can be done anywhere in the game.
PageUp : Change to Next skin, this can be done anywhere in the game.
Numpad + : Increase Volume
Numpad - : Decrease Volume

The Game Modes :
----------------

Rotating : U need to complete the waternet by only rotating indivual tubes.
Sliding  : U need to complete the waternet by only sliding rows and colums. U slide a column by pressing a button
		   while being on the arrow keys
Sliding+Rotating : Combines the 2 previous game modes in one game so u need to slide and rotate to complete the
				   waternet.

General use :
-------------
U first see the intro and are then presented with the titlescreen where you can select the option u want.
After selecting "play" u get to choose the game type and the level type. 
You are then presented with the level selector. If u had chosen a static level (easy,medium,hard,tutorial)
u can view all the other levels by pressing left and right. If u had chosen a random level a new level
will be generated by pressing left or right. Just press space or enter to play the level.

Leveleditor:
------------
A level editor is included to create custom levels. You need to name the levels Level1.lev, Level2.lev, ....
and place them in the "custom" directory, in the levels directory of the game type u created the level for
for example ./levels/sliding/custom/ if u created a custom level for the sliding game type.
Read the notes the first time you start the level editor and you are good to go.

You control the level editor with the mouse, u click on a tile to select it and then u click on the spot where
the tile needs to come and thats it.

About skins:
------------
For creating skins just change the graphic files to your liking (it doesn't have to be all of them but it's possible,
you can for example change just the tubes.png and tubesconnected.png file) and place it in a folder named after your
skin in the skins folder. You can also create a (linux) text file named color.txt in the skins directory and change
the rgb values for the text color. Just look at the included samples.

If you have created some skins feel free to tell me about it on my forums or on the gp2x forums, i'll gladly host them
on my webserver !

About the Windows size:
-----------------------
Waternet was originally made for a machine that has a 320x240 resolution, the windows version runs by default in
640x480. However you can increase (or decrease) the size of the window by passing a parameter to the waternet.exe file.
This parameter has to be an integer number that defines the scalefactor with which the orginal screensize will be doubled.
for example 
running "waternet.exe 3" will make the game run at (3x320)x(3x240) = 960x720
running "waternet.exe 4" will make the game run at (4x320)x(4x240) = 1020x960
etc.
the maximum number u can specify is 10. Of course as far as i know there are no screens yet that handle such resolutions.
