CloneKeen requires the original game +data files to work. You can play all three episodes of the game +(but not the later episodes 4 through 6, nor "Keen Dreams"). +.PP +CloneKeen tries to mostly replicate the original game, +however there are also a number of improvements, +including smoother scrolling, better graphic effects +in some parts of the game, and 2\-player support. +.PP +See story.txt for a description of the game's plot. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +\fBwarplevel\fR +specify a level number (such as 2) to go directly to that level.

Creates ~/.clonekeen, populates it with symlinks to the +game data files, runs the main binary. +.SH BUGS +Actually not bugs, these are features that were in the original DOS version +of the game that are not (yet?) implemented in clonekeen: +.PP +No way to customize keyboard controls +.PP +No support for joystick controls +.PP +No support for in\-game help (probably just as well, the help talks about +joysticks, and customizing keyboard controls...) +.PP +Also, the DOS build of clonekeen appears to support up to 4 (or maybe +only 3) player +games, but the Linux build only defines enough control keys +for 2 players. +.SH AUTHOR +clonekeen was written by Caitlin Shaw. +.PP +This manual page and the wrapper script were written by B.
