HOW TO RUN

If you have downloaded a version of the game designated for a particular
system, simply run the executable.

To run the source code, you will need the following dependencies:

- Python 2 (2.7 or later) or 3 (3.1 or later) <http://www.python.org>
- Pygame 1.9.1 or later <http://pygame.org>

If you are using a version of Python older than 3.4, you will also need
to install pathlib: <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pathlib/>

Once you have installed the dependencies, you can start the game by
running "hexoshi.py". On most systems, this should be done by
double-clicking on it; if you are shown a dialog asking you if you want
to display or run the file, choose to run it.

To run the game with a particular Python version, open "hexoshi.py" in a
text editor and change the shebang on line one to indicate the version
you want to use, e.g. "python2" or "python3" instead of just "python".

There are some command-line options that can be passed. Run the game in
a terminal with the "-h" command-line option for more information.


SPECIAL CONTROLS

You can exit the game by pressing the middle mouse button. This is a
workaround for a rare bug in Pygame which can lock up the keyboard
controls, explained in detail here:
