Universal Conquest
==================

This game is an entry for the 48 Hour Game Development Competition #19 Ludum Dare (http://www.ludumdare.com).
It requires Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP and DirectX 8. A sound card is highly recommended for high class 
white noise sound effects.
You start this at your own risk. I take no responsibilities whatsoever if something happens to your PC.

The given theme:
----------------
Discovery


The Gameplay:
-------------
Travel to other stars. Search for ore or technology to sell at home. Buy better equipment to access
farther away star systems and more planets. Discover the alien home system and find their base
to establish first contact.

Control by mouse during menu screens, cursor keys during surface parts and Q or A to fire your weapon (once applicable).


The Sourcecode:
---------------
The full sourcecode plus a VS 2003 solution is included, so you can basically change the game as much as you want to. 
If you do so then please be fair and 

A) keep mentioning where you found the sourcecode and include a link to my homepage and 
B) notify me if you intend to release a modified version.

The code itself isn't very clean and includes some ugly hacks, but that's the sake of time schedules.
