@node intro "What is Y.A.G.G.?"


YAGG  is  a  gravity game  like Roketz  and Bratwurst.  2, 3 or 4 player must
destroy their opponents ASAP.

@endnode

@node insta "Installation"


Just drag YAGG drawer anywhere you want.  No assigns are needed.

If you cliks on YAGG icon once and select "icons/informations" from WB menus,
you'll  find  the  tooltype  FIELD=<arena's name>.  Write  here  the  default
battlefield name, if you want...

@node user "What do you need to run YAGG ?"


- A fast Amiga.  68030/25MHz or above highly recommended.
- Kickstart v.39  (3.0)  or above.
- FastRam recommended.
- At least 490KB free chip ram
- AGA recommended (Blitter will thank you) but not required.

YAGG is written in 40% assembly  and 60% in BlitzBasic2.  Due to using a high
level language a data cache will increase the speed very much.
YAGG  opens  a  standard  "intuition" screen, so you are free to use a screen
promotor  to  use  a  non-PAL  screenmode (e.g.  try  to  activate  the "mode
promotion" option in  Prefs/Icontrol).  Anyway  you should not use a vertical
refresh frequency different by 50Hz.
YAGG accesses directly to the blitter, anyway, it multitasks happily.

YAGG has been successfully tested on:

Amiga 4000/040        25MHz    8MB Fast + 2MB Chip Os v.3.0  SetPatch v40.16
Amiga 4000/Ec030      25MHz    8MB Fast + 2MB Chip Os v.3.1
Amiga 1200/TQM50 (030/50MHz)   4MB Fast + 2MB Chip Os v.3.0
Amiga 4000/Cyberstorm060/50MHz 8MB Fast + 2MB Chip Os v.3.1
Amiga 3000/Cybervision64+CyGfx 4MB Fast + 2MB chip Os v.3.1

PAL and DblPAL AGA modes and ECS/OCS emulation modes.

@node weap "Weapons"


@{b}Machine Gun 1-5@{ub}           Standard gun. Medium range. Quite weak.  Each model
                          have it's own speed ang Shots/s rate.
                          Bullets appears grey in color.

@{b}Big Gun 1-3@{ub}               Same as above, but the autofire  is very slow. It's
                          between 5 and 6 time more dangerous than MG.
                          This is a long range weapon.  Bullets are orange.

@{b}Small Rocket 1-3@{ub}          They  have  accelerated  movement  and  an exposive
                          warhead.  They  strike  a damage just like BG1, but
                          can bump your opponent against a wall.
                          The color is white.

@{b}Medium Rocket 1-3@{ub}         They  are  similar to  SR, but  they are slower and
                          3-4 time more harmful.

@{b}Large Rocket 1-3@{ub}          More  dangerous  versions  of  MR. They  are really
                          powerful, but  also  very  heavy. Usually  you  can
                          carry only a few shells.

@{b}Turbo Gun 1-3@{ub}             High powered  version of machine guns. Only  little
                          ships (which can't mount heavier weapons) can carry
                          these guns.

@{b}Missiles 1-4@{ub}              Simple  missiles.  They  are  quile easy  to  avoid
                          beacuse  of their strong inertia, but don't  try to
                          exceed them in speed!
                          When you  launch a missile, it  starts just  like a
                          small  rocket.  After  a  certain  amount  of  time
                          (lower  in  Mis-1, higher  in  Mis-4), the  missile
                          begins to follow the nearest ship.  So don't launch
                          a   missile-1  when  your  opponent   is   far  and
                          vice-versa.

@{b}Mini Gun 1-3@{ub}              Between MG and TG.

@{b}Shooting missile 1-4@{ub}      :-))  Really  bad  weapon.  After  they  are  armed
                          (arming  time  varies  very little), they  begin to
                          shot  to  the nearest ship.  The  higher the model,
                          the longer is the lifetime.

@{b}Class-A Smart Missile 1-4@{ub} Slow  and hard  to avoid  missiles.  They are a bit
                          less powerful than standard missiles.

@{b}Auto Rockets 1-3@{ub}          Just like  Small rockets, but they  can change they
                          direction  a bit.  You  can  hit yor  opponent much
                          more easily. Higher models have higher precision.

@{b}Shooting Mine 1-5@{ub}         Very   very   slow   shooting   missiles. You   are
                          recommended to not collide with them....


@{b}Class-B Smart Missile 1-4@{ub} Faster version of Class-A smart missiles.

@{b}Mine 1-4@{ub}                  Simple and powerful proximity mines.


If  a missile  (mines and smart too) hits  before being  armed, it strikes  a
very low damage.  Actually, you waste a bullet.
