How to play Life Emerging:

1. If you are running Windows, continue to step 2. If you are running Ubuntu, you need to install some packages (with apt-get in a terminal):
sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian libsdl-gfx1.2-4 libsdl-image1.2 libsdl-mixer1.2 libsdl-net1.2 libsdl-ttf2.0-0

2. You need to start a server, which you then can connect to with your client. If you already have a server running, continue to step 4.

3. The server executable is located in the bin/ directory, and is named "lifeemerging_srv.exe" for Windows, and "lifeemerging_srv" for Ubuntu Linux.
 Just simply run it in the background. Notice that you need the IP-address of the computer running the server to connect to it with the clients.
 (This is done by the command ipconfig in Windows, ifconfig in Linux.)

4. Start the client by the executable file located in the bin/ directory aswell. The name of the file is "lifeemerging.exe" for Windows and "lifeemerging" for Linux.
 Now you need the IP-address of the server to connect to it, which was recieved in step 3. You can do some in-game settings via the menu. If any setting crashes the game
 and then is not able to be restored, you can remove the file "settings" located in the root folder.
 
Note that you might need to set the permission for the executables if you're using Linux. Do this with the following commands inside bin/:
chmod +x lifeemerging
chmod +x lifeemerging_srv


Hope you enjoy playing Life Emerging!
