On the title screen:

Space Bar: Start Game
Escape: Exit the Game

Once you start a game, your ship will be in the playing field.  Your objective is to destroy
as many enemy ships with your laser cannon without dying.  Be careful, as the enemies 
mulitply quickly.  One touch of an enemy ship means death for you.  

Controls:

Arrow keys: Move your ship.  You can move in 8 directions.
Space Bar: Fire laser cannon.

Each enemy killed yields one point.  When you die, you go to the high scores table.

After entering your high score, press the space bar to go back to the title screen.  If
you didn't get a high score, try again!  You still have to press the space bar to continue.

Stay Alive! is the product of my (Jc's) labor.  You are free to edit and redistribute it if
you contact me first and leave my name on it.

I'd like to thank CalcGames.org for opening a Windows Games section for me and Dan, for 
testing it and beating my high score (He got 20!).  The little punk.

That's it!

And now, because you bothered to look at the bottom...

Hints!!!

-Move in circles.  The dummies will just hang out in the middle.
-Don't hit the edges, it slows you down immensely.  Did someone say, "Instant Death?"
-Keep shooting.  Or better yet, get a buddy to shoot for you.  Then you can stay 
 concentrated on dodging.
-Enemies reproduce slowly, but they add up!  They also come in from far off the screen 
 randomly, so be prepared for anything!

Signing off for real this time,
-Jc
