You must have Java Runtime Environment (version 1.4.2 or later)
installed.  The quickest way to use this software on any platform is
to simply open the included jar file, 'Planetoids.jar'.  Note that the 
following requires you to have downloaded the jar file, or to have 
compiled the jar file from the source (see below):

1. Open a command prompt.
2. Change the current directory to the Planetoids directory.
3. Type 'java -jar Planetoids.jar'.


The included source code can also be compiled:

This requires Mac 0S X, Windows, or some flavor of *NIX, and gmake.

1. Open a command prompt.
2. Change the current directory to the Planetoids directory.
3. Type 'gmake' at the prompt window.
4. Type 'java -jar Planetoids.jar'.

For a brief tutorial of how to play the game, please see the User Guide.

Have fun!
