L · A · M · B · D · A --------------------- Lambda is a project to create a 3D space combat game like X-Wing and Wing Commander. SUPPORT Lambda supports AGA, CyberGraphX and Picasso96. In the future audio will probably be supported with AHI which also offers a fast DMA mode for slow Amigas. SETTING UP Before you can run Lambda, you will need to set it up to suit your system. This is done with the program called Setup. It must be located in the same directory as the main executable file. With Setup you can edit the following preferences: Screenmode... This gadget brings up a standard screenmode requester with which you can choose any mode and screen size you wish. Note that the width of the screen will be rounded down to a 64 pixel boundary. Enable mouse This option enables the mouse control. Due to the internals of the operating system enabling mouse control might slow the game down slightly. Elite controls This gadget selects whether you want to control roll instead of yaw with left/right keys or joystick directions. Background fog Toggles the state of the blue nebula/fog cloud background. Enabling the background will slow the game down a great deal, but it looks much better than the normal a black space. Missile trails Selects whether to have rockets and missiles leave behind a trail of smoke. Enabling missile trails will slow the game down slightly. RUNNING After you have saved your settings from the Setup program you can run the main executable called "Lambda".
