NAME

       balder2d - 2D zero gravity shooter

SYNOPSIS

       balder2d [config-file]

DESCRIPTION

       balder2d  is  an  arcade  style  2d overhead shooter, in a zero gravity
       environment.  In Balder2D, players control  small  probes  which  shoot
       tiny projectiles with which they try to destroy each other. It features
       a 2D overhead view of  the  playing  field.  Probes  may  be  human  or
       computer controlled.

       A probe can perform the following actions:

           * rotate
           * fire projectiles
           * "stick" to a wall
           * push off of a wall

       Players  may  rotate  their probes while in flight, but the only way to
       change the direction or speed of flight is by firing projectiles (which
       gives  a small kick in the opposite direction) or by running into walls
       or other probes.
