		+	==Playing The Game==
		+	Updated binaries should be in the repo, as of 6/17 the windows binary is not quite up to date but should be by this evening when I can get home that and upload it.
		+	The linux binary is very old at this point and hasn't been updated in a while. It's only a matter of compiling on the different platforms, but it requires additional
		+	libraries to be present on the computer to install/run.
		+	All platforms will need the SDL, SDL_TTF, SDL_MIXER, and SDL_IMAGE libraries. On windows, all of the necessary dlls for these is included in the directory with the exe.
		+	However, since i compile with visual studio 2010, you will need the .NET 4.0 framework (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=0a391abd-25c1-4fc0-919f-b21f31ab88b7)
		+
		+	in terms of instructions for playing - menu is pretty self-explanatory, button in lower right is mute/sound on, it can be a bit weird sometimes.
		+	Pressing 'f' on the main menu will take you to fullscreen. In-Game, pressing the 'p' key will pause the game and pressing the 'r' key while paused will resume the game and pressing 'esc'
		+	any time (including when hiscores are being shown) will bring you back to the menu. Spacebar is shooting, it works best to just hold down space imo since there is no negative consequence
		+	to endlessly shooting. The red bar is health and the green bar below it is power. When the power bar reaches full, you can press 's' to activate your shields, which will temporarily
		+	render you invincible and drain your power. At any time while shielded, you can press 'p' again to disengage the shields, but you will not be able to re-engage until power is once
		+	again full.
		+
		+	There are 3 powerups - the power boost which boosts the amount of power reserves you have, the health pack which can regenerate some of the health you lost, and the laser upgrade which
		+	increases the firepower of your ship in various stages. This last powerup will stop appearing once your ship has reached its maximum firepower.
		+
		+	The Game is open ended and the only point is to not die and get the highest score possible.
