######################################  Introduction ##########################################

	Phoenix is a shooting game. You are the ship at the bottom of the screen( represented by a lowercase W) and you try to shoot your enemies( four enemies per level which are represented at first by a lowercase V), that move all over the place in no specific pattern. As you advance your enemies get more powerful and get different appearance. They aren't the only ones that change. You get to buy 5 different weapons for your arsenal. You can buy shields( you can only have ten) and a ship upgrade. For even a faster game download the ASM version by Patrick Davidson.

####################################  Word From Author  #######################################

####################################  External Levels  ########################################

	To make external levels just write a program like this:
L+1->L			;required
Z+x->Z			;x is the amount of money that will be gained everytime a level is 				;passed
{L,L,L,L}->ENSHD		;the () stands for the small capital L
If L=x			;the "x" is replaced with the level number.(must start at 1)
Then
"v"->Str1			;the "v" is replaced with the shape the ship will be.
Return
End	
				
After you have the last level complete do this:
If L=x			;x is for example lets say you have8 levels then x would be 9!(if you 				;dont get it email me:)
