  Arkanoid 2 v1.03 is a game from the old Atari I believe, though
I've never played it. This version for the ti-86 has a few things
that you should know if you want to fully enjoy the game.

Arkanoid 2 uses a 256 directional ball movement engine and this 
makes directing it with the paddle interesting. If you hit the ball
on the very edge of the paddle it will change the direction of the 
ball accordingly. If you hit the ball with the middle of the paddle
the ball won't change angles other than going up when before it
was coming down.

Keys:
 F1 - Save game and Exit. This is useful if you make a level set 
	  that has a lot of levels.
 Left & right - move the paddle
 Exit - Exit game
 More - Pause game
 Enter - during menus will select.


Bonus:
 101 -  this will add to your score 501 points

 |_| -  this bonus will put up a 1 hit barrier. If you have a
        3 hit barrier already... it will reduce it to 1 hit, so
        be careful!

 ( ) -  This will double the size of your paddle so you have more
        control over the ball.

SOLID - This bonus will put up a 3 hit barrier under your paddle,
	this way you can leave the ball to get a needed bonus or
        if you just miss, this wil save you :)

extra - The extra life bonus looks like a little paddle. If you 
	get that, you will get an extra life, which calculate to
	1200 points if you complete the entire world with lives
	left over.

A,C,Z - If you can get an "A' and a "C" and a "Z" all without dying
	or changing levels you will be warped to the next level with
	a delightful 1500 point bonus! Be careful, you might get 
	more points by finishing out the level

"B"   - The only truly harmful special in the game. B is the first
	character of "BASIC" the horrible disgrace of a language 
 	that is built into the calculator. If you hit a "B" during
	the game you LOSE A LIFE! It won't kill you if you're
	on your last life, but then it sets you to 520 points !
  	remember, "BASIC" is your enemy! stay away from it at ALL COSTS


External Levels:
  To install external levels, just send the .86s file to your calc
along with the program. The level editor has it's own documentation
included in it's zip, the editor was written by Corey <ACZ>.

TitleScreen:
  The title screen is the string named Ark2Scrn. Don't change it's 
name or else it will not work! If you want, you can make your own
external string file, just RLE encode a 4 level grayscale picture
and name it Ark2Scrn. Email me for more details <James@acz.org>

Have fun!

Versions:
-----
 1.0	Initial release (very buggy)

 1.02	Fixed some bugs, but then I simultaneously created
		some more

 *1.03	Fixed most of the bugs, "ACZ" bonus works, "B" bonus works
		I was thinking of adding some more anti-basic stuff, but 
		decided against it.
