Operating system requirements:
------------------------------

- Windows 95, 98, 2000, XP, Vista (Yes, works on 32 bit and 64 bit versions). Could be Windows 7 compatible as well. 

- Direct X 7 or higher 

Installing instructions:
========================

- Create a new folder called Moo-Lander
- Extract MooLander.exe file into Moo-Lander folder
- Extract media folder and all of it's contents into Moo-Lander 
  folder, but make sure the EXE does NOT go into the media 
  folder.

If you get an error stating 
"Memory access violation". It means that either the media folder is
missing, or one of the important media files/graphics is missing. Make
sure that all files have been correctly extracted :)

It is essential that DirectX 7 or above has been installed before 
using this application, otherwise it may not function correctly.


General information:
====================

At the moment, this is not really a 100% finished game, as this game
was created as a little practice piece. Just like Jeffy was back in
2009. So please don't take this game too seriously, as I am still
actually a beginner at Blitz Basic and still have a long way to go
before I can actually create something very decent commercial 
quality retrogaming titles for the PC.

This game was created in the mode of "Gravity", a game I originally
written in the style of Luna Lander for the Commodore 64 back in
the year 2000. 

Special thank you goes to Dr.J/The Force, for this excellent piece of
music.


Game instructions
=================

Bessie the cow wants to go on a skydive and has sent out some of her
friends to join in the fun. They all enter the barn and take off in
Bessie's space-ship type aircraft and prepare for a sky dive. 

The other animals did not like the idea of Bessie sky diving as they
found that to be an event for cows only. The camels were practically
annoyed about it. So they assembled a party of camels, goats and 
sheep and set off into the air using balloons, to make the cows 
go for a swim.

Your task is to launch Bessie and her friends from the aircraft and
guide them safely on to the ground. The trouble is that there are
goats, sheep and camels, who are very annoyed and want cows to take
a little dip in the pool. Try and avoid contact with those crazy 
hairy beasties. You also have a time limit in which to land those
crazy cows. Watch out for bonus items, flying across at the bottom - 
they will help you gain more points.

You have 10 cows to land on to the ground, and only 5 lives. Can you
MOO-ve through all 16 levels and play on to gain more scores, or
will the cows decide enough's enough and other crazy furry animals win
the dispute?

Controls
========

Cursor keys (Up, down, left, right) to move the cows
SPACEBAR - Launch cow from ship when readily prompted

Have you got any ideas to improve this game?
============================================

Okay, at the moment Moo-Lander's just a basic Luna-Lander style game
with some pickups and animals. We are hoping to improve this game 
some day in the near future. This was a practice piece which I
done in Blitz Basic. Do you retro gamers have any fun ideas which
I could implement into this luna-lander game, to make this program
look more interesting and play much more fun.

If you have some general ideas/enquiries about this game then please
