1  Introduction
---------------

You are given a goal rhythm to match. The task is to create the
same rhythm by using bouncing balls to hit scenario elements,
which make different sounds.

Note that this is a PRE-ALPHA release of the game. Many things
such as proper scoring mechanisms are still missing.

Press Ctrl-S to save the solution to current scenario or
Ctrl-L to load the previously stored solution.

2  Technical Information

2.1  Requirements
-----------------
* Requires a graphics adaptor supporting accelerated OpenGL graphics.
  For example, suitable graphics adaptors are NVIDIA GeForce or ATI Radeon.
* Recommended minimum of 1.0 GHz computer, at least 128 MB total memory.


2.2  Notes
----------
Use mouse to navigate menus and play the game.
You can press pause button or ESC to pause the game.
If you press ESC while game is paused, it will return to main menu.


2.3  Screen Resolution
----------------------
By default the game tries to use the desktop resolution. If you want to
change the behavior, you can start the game with first parameter "w" to
force the game in windowed mode, or parameter "f" to force the game in
fullscreen mode. Additionally the next two parameters can be used to
give a resolution/window size which the game should use.
This can
be done in command line, e.g. with command "Beats w". Or alternatively,
you can create a shortcut to the Beats.exe, and modify the shortcut
so that the Target of it ends e.g. with "Beats.exe w".
