History

1.0 - first public release for MorphOS

	Some improvements realized by BeWorld:

	- Added new hotkeys:

		F1 - Active-Deactive VSYNC
		F2 - Active-Deactive Glow
		F3 - Active-Deactive GridSmoothing
		F4 - Active-Deactive ParticleSmoothing
		F5 - Active-Deactive EnemySmoothing
		F6 - Active-Deactive PlayerSmoothing
		F7 - Active-Deactive StarSmoothing
		
		
	- Added support to play with a joystick with 2 sticks (left stick for direction,
	  the right stick to fire in the selected direction.
  
1.1 - added render optimizations and gameplay improvements

      New features:
      - Bomb now accessible via Right Stick Click (R3) on gamepad, in addition to Space key
      - On-screen UI messages display current option state when toggling F1-F7
      - Fixed 2D rendering system for proper text display (scores, lives, bombs, UI messages)
      - Optimized glow effect with adjustable blur radius and intensity
      - All visual effects (glow, smoothing) disabled by default for maximum performance
      - Users can enable effects individually or use F11 for quick toggle

      Hotkeys:
      F8  - Active-Deactive Performance Mode (reduces particle count, disables glow)
      F9  - Active-Deactive Reduced Grid Resolution (disables grid attractors for max performance)
      F10 - Switch Window/FullScreen
      F11 - Toggle ALL visual options (F1-F7) at once - Quick switch between quality and performance

      Controls:
      Keyboard:
        - WASD: Move
        - Arrow keys: Aim/Fire
        - Space: Bomb
        - 1-4: Start player (in menu)
        - P: Pause
        - ESC: Return to menu

      Gamepad:
        - Left Stick: Move
        - Right Stick: Aim/Fire
        - Right Stick Click (R3): Bomb
        - Start: Start game/Join
        - Y: Pause

      Known Limitations (TinyGL):

      Due to TinyGL limitations on MorphOS, some advanced OpenGL effects are currently
      unavailable or disabled by default:

      - Glow Effect (F2): Disabled by default
        * Requires glGetTexImage() which is not supported in TinyGL
        * Enabling it may cause visual artifacts (red screen)

      - Smoothing Effects (F3-F7): Disabled by default
        * GL_LINE_SMOOTH and GL_MULTISAMPLE have no effect on TinyGL
        * These options can be enabled but won't change the visual appearance

      - Blur Post-Processing: Not available
        * CPU-based blur requires reading framebuffer data

      The game still looks great with the built-in additive blending effects!
      All gameplay features work perfectly.
