ABOUT FREAKOUT
--------------

This is a portable breakout-type game. So far, it is availible for DOS and 
Linux, but it wouldn't require much work to port it to any other 
environment. It was written by me mainly because I though that there were 
no really good breakout games around for linux. There are some, but I 
rather don't like them. So I decided to write my own...

It is written in Pascal, since it's the only programming language worth 
the name. It is written mainly for FPC (http://www.freepascal.org), but it 
is also compilable with Turbo Pascal under DOS, and probably other 
compilers with a few twitches.

This is a really early version of the game, and it doesn't offer much. But 
wait for a while and it'll become the breakout game of your dreams.
