Jewel Rush Readme

Jewel Rush is a classic arcade game where the player has to explore dangerous caves, solving puzzles and collecting 
enough diamonds to reveal the exit. Various hazards including rockfalls and indigenous creatures exist to hamper the 
players efforts. Solve the puzzles, collect the gems and escape before time runs out!

Joysticks and Gamepads

Jewel Rush now supports the use of joysticks and gamepads. This initial build uses the primary stick and the first two 
buttons, no configuration is currently possible. The game has been tested with an Xbox 360 Controller and a Freedom 2.4 
cordless joystick. 

Also, it is not currently possible to select which device to use. The /CONTROLLER argument (see below) can be used
to force a specific device to be used.

Full configuration options will be added in a future update.
