How to use Ultimate Stunts 0.5.x

Which packages?

To use UltimateStunts, you will need both the program files and the data files. If you are a windows user, you can use the windows installation program to get both. Else (e.g. if you are a Linux user), you can make your own binaries by downloading the sourcecode and compiling it.

Configuration

When ultimatestunts is started, it searches for a configuration file called "ultimatestunts.conf". Currently, this file should be located in the "current" directory (.). The location of the datafiles directory is normally defined in ultimatestunts.conf, as the value of "datadir". You might want to edit this value. Other configuration in this file might be interesting too.

A game session

In version 0.5.x, the server and the independent AI client have not been written, so the only thing you can do is start the graphical client, called "ultimatestunts". This program is able to do everything you need, including AI players and the physics.

Before using the graphical client, please read the graphical client documentation.

P.S.

The latest update of this document was written while 0.5.1 was the latest version. Computer opponents (=the corresponding client programs) have not been developed yet. However, a "dummy" AI player, just driving circles, has been added in this version.
