ABOUT TUXANCI
=============
Tuxanci is first tux shooter. In the absolute beginning it was inspired by
a well-known Czech game Bulanci. Today Tuxanci goes its own way and is much
better then Bulanci (except the graphics though).
Game supports 1 player and 2 players game on one computer and also supports
gameplay over network (LAN/Internet [IPv4 and IPv6]).
Goal in this game is to shoot enemy Tux before he does so. Tux can shoot only
in X and Y axes so no diagonal shooting is available yet (in fact it is even
not being planned at the moment).

GAME USAGE
==========
Starting game is simple tuxanci-VERSION or tuxanci-server-V. based on what we
compiled (based on presumption user installed into directories where path
is set).
If you are using bundled binary and tuxanci are reporting "File not found!"
error, you need to launch it directly from BIN directory
(eg.: "$ cd tuxanci/bin && ./tuxanci-VERSION").
For client we create some configuration files in $HOME. There is created
".tuxanci" directory and in there are pretty selfexplaining .conf files.
For server we create directory /etc/tuxanci-server/server.conf where you could
do some changes for it (again pretty selfexplaining).

INFORMATIONS FOR TRANSLATORS
============================
So you want to help us translating our perfect game :] What should you
do is question you are asking i guess. It is pretty simple. We are using
gettext so you only have to download our .pot file from git
<http://repo.or.cz/w/tuxanci.git?a=blob_plain;f=po/tuxanci.pot;hb=HEAD>
and translate every line into your desired language. MSGID is orginal
message and MSGSTR is translated one. When you are done you rename
tuxanci.pot to langcode.po (cs_CZ.po). For translating is needed only
some text editor (advanced are kbabel, lokalize...) and some skills
in your and english language. Final product of your effort mail onto our
mail (team<-at->tuxanci.org). Ah and before I forget update some
relevant informations into header of your .po file, examples can be
found in our git too <http://repo.or.cz/w/tuxanci.git?a=tree;f=po;hb=HEAD>.
