Welcome to GAV, a GPL rendition of the popular Arcade Volleyball.

Some menu items might not be implemtented yet.

Version 0.7.0 added:

- Networking game, in client/server mode
- modified collisions
- several themes provided by friendly users
- selectable "larger" background
- adjustable frame rate and frame skip values
- configurable end score
- vintage monitor effect (works ok only with the default theme)

Version 0.6.0 added:

- Theme support via the 'Extra' menu entry
  Only a silly modification of the classic theme is
  available so far, if you are interested in developing
  more, please do, and let us know!
- Keys redefinition works
- You can now activate menu items using the enter key (wow!)
- You can play more than one-a-side. Cooperative games are supported.
- Fullscreen can now be triggered via a menu entry

Keys:
default keys are:
Left player: z, c and left shift
Right player: left, right and up cursor keys.

use the arrow keys to navigate the menus, spacebar or enter to activate
items, F10 to switch to fullscreen mode while playing.

Network Game:
One of the programs must function as server. The server determines
the parameters of the game (except for the theme, which might be
different from client to client). Whatever player the server configures
as "Keyboard" is local to the server, "Computer/Net" players are controlled
either by the computer or by a remote client. Starting the server, you
specify how many clients will attach: each of them will replace a computer
player. This way, you can play in several different ways: a local player
against a remote one, a local and AI player against 2 remote ones, an AI
player against a local and a remote one... Bear in mind that players 1 and 3
play on the left side, and 2 and 4 on the right side.
The client need not select anything about the players: just the side it
will play on (left or right). Currently, only one player per client is
allowed (while more than one can play on the server). The client's player
is always controlled by Player 1's controls.
