About


	This is a pre-release demo of the 3d real-time-strategy game
	Iron Dignity, that is still in development. This demonstration was made
	specially for the "Phoebe", Acorn's new RiscPCII.


Controls


	'Ctrl' + 'Esc'		quit to desktop


Continuous Playing


	If you want this demo to loop forever until you press 'Ctrl' + 'Esc',
	then set the flag "CONTINUOUS: 1" in the config-file contained in
	the application directory.


Config File


	Some options for running this application may be altered in the
	config file contained in the application directory. The editable
	options are listed below. If the frame rate is not to your taste,
	you may either

		- reduce the colour depth to 16-bit-colour (LOG2BPP=4)
		- reduce the LoD
		- reduce the resolution
		- reduce the FOV-angle
		- up-clock your StrongARM :-)

	each of which will speed things up.


	CONTINUOUS:
		If set to '1', this option makes the program loop forever
		until you press 'Ctrl' + 'Esc'.

	XRES:/YRES:
		These select the pixel resolution of the screen mode. The mode
		should be a square-pixel-mode.

	LOG2BPP:
		Log2 of the screen mode's number of bits per pixel. 5 means
		24-bit-colour, 4 means 16-bit-colour. 8-bit-colour or less is not
		supported.

	FOV:
		Horizontal field-of-view angle in degrees.

	LOD:
		Landscape level of detail. Possible values 0..4 (minimum,
		low, high, very high, maximum).
