How to install
--------------
Put KENKYAKU.83P on your calculator. If you don't have a Str1 and Str2, put
those on too. Then, just run KENKYAKU from plain TI-OS or AShell.

Kenkyaku is a one-on-one street fighter for one player only. I'm pretty
confident that this is so far the best street fighting game on the TI-83.
I'd like to see somebody make a TI-83 fighter any better. The object is to
punch and kick the other fighter until you knock them out before you get
knocked out yourself. It is a best of 3 match, so you must win 2 rounds to
take the match.

Kicks take longer than punches to do, but have longer reach. However,
punches are so fast they're unblockable, so use them at short range. Also,
middle attacks do twice the damage of high and low moves, but they can be
blocked by either kind of block, so mix up your moves.

Also, about the blocking system, it's kinda screwy in this game. Either
player can block at any time while nobody is attacking, but only your kicks
to the computer can be blocked - you can't block any of the computer's moves
once he starts them! Just press up or down when you think he's about to
attack, or just do a move yourself. This is a result of year-old coding that
was so bad these problems couldn't be fixed. You bet the sequel's gonna be
better!

This game is about two years old, and I pretty much sucked at programming when
I originally made this game. My techniques were so bad that, when I tried to
convert this game to graph mode, the redraw rate crippled the gameplay. So,
I went back to the ASCII text version, being the only fast mode for this
game. I had a hard time finding ASCII for all tht stuff too, as it shows in
the low punch animation. I hope to do a way better job in the sequel,
whatever that may be. If you have any name ideas, email me! Nothing like
Real Fighter, Super Fighter, or A55kick - they've already been done.

That's about it! Have fun with the game, and email me any questions or
comments.
