	I) Introduction

	Psychomatt has released an unfinished 3D DOOM-like game called Blood. I've downloaded it and I've started to improve it.
	A few days later, here is the first beta version of AERO, based upon Blood 0.7b. This AERO won't be a shoot game, but simply a fast 3D exploration program. I've added many features, like better map compression system, localisation on the map, size of the screen...

Features :
	- real fast 3D engine
	- good map compression system (a matrix of 5048 bytes dim 28*20 is compressed in a list of 197 bytes dim 21 !)
	- nice graphical interface
	- level creator included
	- map can be shown while playing
	- size of the screen can be modified while playing
	- 5577 bytes on TI-82 (without installation program)



	II) Installing and playing AERO

	Send AERO.8?g to your TI 82/83/83+. Run program A"theta"AERO that will install compressed maps in lists L2, L3, L4 and L5.
	You can delete it, but if you want to send AERO to an other calculator, it will be easier to keep it.
	Run AERO from the program menu. You can move the cursor with the arrows, and select an option with [ENTER].

	OPTIONS :
	FLASHLIGHT shows the flashlight (be careful if you change the size of the screen, it will be ugly ;-)
	COORDINATES shows your coordinates at the top of the screen.
	DISTANCE shows the distance you walked through the maze.

	Select WALK to enter the maze. You will have to enter the list where the data of the level you want to play is stored.
	
	Description of the levels A"theta"AERO installs :
L2	Very small level (size 8*8)
L3	Small level (size 11*11)
L4	Quite big maze (size 15*18)
L5	Huge maze (20*20)
L6	Empty

	The level will be decompressed and built, then play!

Keys while playing:

[(left)] and [(right)] : turn left, right.
[(up)] and [(down)] : move forward and backward
[ZOOM] : show the map
[TRACE] : set the size of the screen
[MODE] : quit


	III) A.M.M 1.0  (AERO'S MAP MAKER)

	The maximum size of a level is 28*20.
	To build, hit [WINDOW]. To delete, hit [Y=]. To move without delete or building, press [ZOOM]. To place walls all around the level, hit [TRACE] (it may take time if the map is huge...). Then, hit [GRAPH] to compress the map.
	Choose the n of the list you want to store the level into.


	IV) Bugs

	This is a beta version, so there may be some bugs, e-mail me if you find one.
