For Queen and Country
---------------------

Description
-----------
A turn-based 4-person strategy game.  The first player to explore the whole
island wins.  The aim is to obstruct the other players as much as possible
while exploring the island for yourself.  This is my entry to Ludum Dare 16.

Rules
-----
- Players cannot move onto a space another player is already occupying.
- Players may erect a garrison on their current space which will prevent other
  players from moving onto it, even if the original player has moved on.
  Garrisons last for 3 turns.
- Moving onto another space and erecting a garrison consumes 1 unit of food.
  When a player runs out of food they must forage for more.  Each space has a
  different amount of food available.  Some spaces will be better than others.
- If more than 1 players complete their exploration in the same turn it is
  considered a failure.

How to play
-----------
Escape quits to the title screen from the gameplay map, and quits the game from
the title screen.

The game is played with the mouse.  Spaces which may be moved to are marked by
a circular marker of the player's colour.  Click on it to move there.  This
ends your turn.  The amount of food the player is carrying is displayed in the
upper left corner.  The player may forage, erect a garrison or wait by clicking
one of the 3 buttons in the lower left of the screen.

Game Options
------------
You can pass the executable various command line flags:

Usage:

Flags:
--width [val] | -w [val]:	Set the width of the window.
--height [val] | -h [val]:	Set the height of the window.
--antialias [val] | -a [val]:	Sets the antialiasing level (2, 4, or 6) (this
                                setting doesn't do much).
--fullscreen | -f:		Sets whether to go fullscreen or not.
