RUNNING THE GAME
Options can be reached from the menu, so you don't need to specify arguments,
but if you want, type 'supertux2 --help' to check the ones that are available.
Also, notice that SuperTux saves the options, so it's often enough to
- specify them once.

The game uses OpenGL to render the graphics. You will either need a CPU
with about 10 GHz or an accelerated video card with the vendor's drivers.

+DEVELOPMENT STATUS
+------------------
+ This version of SuperTux is still under development, even though the
+ 0.3 line of versions is somewhat aged. This means that badguys, features,
+ levels, graphics or anything else may be removed in the future.
+
+ Especially the Forest world included in this package may be subject to
+ drastic changes. These changes may go as far as removing the world
+ altogether. Currently (February 2010) there is no consensus within the
+ SuperTux development community regarding the fate of the Forest. Don't get
+ too attached to it ;)
