NAME
RigelEngine - reimplementation of Duke Nukem II

SYNOPSIS

RigelEngine [-s | --skip-intro] [-d | --debug-mode] [--no-audio] [--play-demo] [-l | --play-level level-name] [--difficulty easy|medium|hard] [--player-pos x,y] [game-path]

DESCRIPTION

RigelEngine is a modern reimplementation of the game Duke Nukem II, originally released in 1993 for MS-DOS by Apogee Software.

In order to run RigelEngine, the game data from the original game is required. Both the shareware version and the registered version work. When launching RigelEngine for the first time, it will show a file browser UI and ask you to select the location of your Duke Nukem II installation. The chosen path will be stored in the game's user profile, so that you don't have to select it again next time.

It's also possible to pass the path to the game files as argument on the command line.

The only files actually used by RigelEngine are NUKEM2.CMP (the main data tile; required) and NUKEM2.F1 through NUKEM2.F5 (intro movie files; actually optional).
