Version 1.2
Windows: run ufo.exe
Linux: run 'ufo'. Or from a terminal session, change to the directory where Ufo Watch is installed, and type "./ufo"
The object of the game is to destroy the flying saucers before the time runs out. You lose points every time a human is abducted. You also lose points depending on the number of shots fired, and the time it takes to destroy the ufos.
Command line parameters:
Keys: (used in the game)
Cfg file:
All other configuration info is stored in UFO.CFG, in the following order:
----- 1 : Sound setting (0,1) 100 : * Speed setting 0 : * Speed setting (0-4) 9 : Human colour scheme (0-255) 13 12 10 14 -----
The first speed setting and the five human colour scheme values should be the only thing you need the modify. The rest are modified by the program.
* Speed settings are now obsolete. Ignore these values.
The files should be set up as followed:
alleg40.dll
hiscore.dat
title.png
ufo
ufo.cfg
ufo.exe
ufo.ico
ufowatch.htm
ufo1.dat
ufo2.dat
upic > coins.pcx

loadin.pcx
ufo1.pcx
ufo2.pcx
ufo4.pcx
ufo8.pcx

The game may not work properly if any of these files are missing.

If this is a problem, you may wish to download and compile the source code (requires Allegro games library).
