About
=====

This is a trump card game. It is designed to be a mini game for fun for a few minutes.This game is my first game project and also my first "Serious" Fb Project.It relies on luck as all card games do.It helped me learn many things and thanks to all the people who helped me. I've added a proper add/delete wrestler option and a gallery too! I've decided to drop the network game idea.It is supposed to have no music, as it is expected that it will played alongside with songs.(Generally people playing card games do that..=P)

Compiling the Source Code
=========================
You'll need FB 0.18 Revision 2 version atleast to compile the code and the 24bitcustomfont.bi file included with this game is required to be copied in your Freebasic Compiler directory (in inc folder) to compile the source code.Use

fbc -s gui royal_rumble.bas royal_rumble.rc

to compile the code.

How To Play
===========

Playing this game is very simple. Most of you must be knowing how to play trump card game (Well, kids here(where i live) know how to play this.) and if not, read on!

Each player is given one deck of cards (right now, 20 cards each).
Each wrestler card has six different attributes.Rank,Fight Fought,Fight Won,Weight,Height,Biceps.You have to choose any one of them,which you think is probably greater than the other card in other player's hand, by just clicking on them. The card that is shown on the screen is in your hand and when you win a card, this card and the card in opponent's hand goes to the bottom of your deck and if you lose a card, you have to surrender your card to the opponent and take out another card from the deck. But in this game, you just have to click and play.Just select the attribute that you think will win you the turn and click on it. The object of the game is to get all the cards. If you have no cards,you lose.
Press Escape or Click the close button at any time to quit the game.
If you don't like the 2 second pause after clicking an attribute,it is skippable by pressing any key.
ps: The game is not supposed to play with cheating =P. As it ruins the gameplay. ^_^
I hope you understand the gameplay and sorry if my english wasn't proper.

Adding Your Own Bmp Images
==========================
Now, You can add your own wrestler pics! But you'll have to follow some basic rules for that ^_^
1.The Image size should be 120x180 (not compulsory..but if it's larger..it'll crop the picture)
2.It must not be RLE or Run Length Encoded!

that's it!
just put the file in Sprites folder and then Goto Options and click on Add Wrestler
Fill in the details and then give the name of file like hulk_hogan.bmp or something.
