(On Linux, the team recommends using cards from NVidia with the proprietary
- drivers, but ATI or another verndor should do.)

-SCREEN LAYOUT

- Status
- ------
- The amount of time you have left to complete this level as well as the
- number of coins and lives you have collected is displayed on the right
- at the top of the screen. (Note: the time is NOT written in seconds!)

-OPTIONS FILE
-------------
-
- When SuperTux starts up, it looks for an options file.
-
- On Linux, this file is "config" in your directory (~/.supertux/). On
- Windows, this file is "supertux.dat" in the SuperTux folder.
-
- This file records program's settings using the syntax of Lisp. There
- should be no reason to edit this file by hand.
