Introduction

Welcome to Skipper_SDL; a Windows/SDL conversion of Ken Mortenson's Skipper.

Skipper is a vector-based space game that was originally designed to run under DOS using the Euphoria graphics library.  This version replaces the old graphics and input commands with their SDL equivalents.  The instructions for playing are displayed when you run the program.  Skipper is mostly complete, with a good-sized “to do” list in the source comments.  Think of it as an “Alpha” version with features to add and bugs to stomp.  Have fun!
