README for Panzers
    Panzers is a simple little multiplayer 3D game where the player controls a
    WW2 tank. The player controls the tank in a fully 3D environment trying to
    blast other players. 


INSTALLATION
    See the file INSTALL.


RUNNING
    First start a server:
    
        % panzers-server path/to/map
    
    Example that starts a map 201x201 in size from the root directory of the
    installation: 
    
        % panzers-server maps/201x201.png
    
    Then start a client:
    
        % panzers localhost
    
    If you join another server change 'localhost' to the name of that
    server. After this you can invite other players to your server or start
    playing on the server you connected to.
