This readme aims to fill gaps that are not sufficiently explained ingame.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS #####################
opengl 4.0 compatible graphics card

SETUP ###################################
In config.json you find a options regarding key bindings and Graphics.
To bind an action to a specific key lookup the corresponding number here: 
keyboard - http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/group__keys.html
mouse - http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/group__buttons.html
Using array syntax multiple keys can be bound to the same action.
example: "Fire":[0,1]
  This sets both mouse buttons to fire.

The render-windows resolution can be freely choosen,
but should not be larger then your screen resolution.
Recommended are 1920x1080 or 2560x2440 and fullscreen.

MECHANICS ##############################
Hud elements
The small bars on the right from top to bottom:
energy - required to fire weapons
shield - protects the health pool and regenerates after not beeing hit for some time
health - structural integrity of the ship, you loose when this falls to zero

blackhole
In tactical mode the camera can be moved using WASD and the mouse wheel.
A blackhole can then be placed with the fire action.
The mode can only be entered while the red indicator in the lower center 
of the screen is visible.

rocket launchers
One type of weapon fires homing and accelerating missiles.
The target is always the locked ship, marked by a red indicator.
When something is in the focus the two arrows go outwards.



With cheats enabled in the config you can use F5 and F6 to generate some
random weapons and shields!
