NAME
freenukum - Jump'n Run game

SYNOPSIS
freenukum

DESCRIPTION
The Freenukum game is a free software implementation of the Duke Nukum 1 game. The player must go through the levels, shoot enemy robots and find keys and access cards in order to unlock barriers and reach the exit door.

DATA FILES
The original level files of the Duke Nukum 1 game need to be copied to ~/.freenukum/data. This can either be the shareware episode only which is available for download free of charge from http://www.3drealms.com/duke1/index.html or the full version which contains three episodes and can also be acquired from this website. In order to unpack the data from the original game, a DOS environment is needed. This can either be dosbox, freedos or an installation of DOS or Windows.

ITEMS
The hero can also collect several different items, which are listed below. The collected items are shown in the right section of the screen. The more firepower the hero has, the more shots can stay inside the window simultaneously. This means the hero can shoot faster and doesn not have to wait until a shot leaves the visible area. Keys exist in several different colors. Every key fits into the keyhole of the same color as the key is. The activation of the keyhole unlocks the door which is linked to it. The Access Card work just the same way as the keys. Once used on the access card slot, it opens the laser beam which keeps the hero from passing on. The Boot allows the hero to jump higher and reach areas he wouldn't be able to access otherwise. The Glove allows the hero to activate a special switch which enables a floor where there would be none. This way the hero can walk over the floor in order to finish his goals. The Clamps allow the hero to attach to some special ceilings.

CONTROL
Freenukum is controlled by the keyboard. The left arrow and the right arrow are used for walking left and right. The left CTRL key is used for jumping, and the left ALT key is used for shooting. In order to activate something (keyhole, exit door, elevator etc.) the up arrow is used. You can switch the game to fullscreen by pressing the f key.

OPTIONS
No options are currently available to freenukum.
