Game Play:（游戏操作）Playing DX-Ball 2 is very simple（简单）. Just use the mouse（用鼠标）to move your
paddle back and forth along the bottom of the screen, bouncing the
balls back up into the field of bricks to break them. Once they're
all broken you'll proceed to the next level. Along the way you can
pick up random Power-Ups, some of which are good, others are bad,
and some may have good aspects and bad aspects.
If you think the game is too hard（如果难）,try Kid-Mode (press the F4 key on
the Title Screen).Don't mind the name, it's fun for grown ups too!
If on the other hand you find the game too easy, try going for a
mega high score! You can get four times (4x) as many points while
you're using a Tiny Paddle (get a shrink paddle or a super-shrink),
a Tiny Ball, and a Fast Ball (grab the Fast Ball power up or just
wait a while and avoid Slow Ball like the plague). You don't need
all three at once either, one or two will still give you more points
than normal.
In Game Music:（游戏音乐）DX-Ball 2 now supports in-game music! Just hit F5 on the title
screen or during the game (you can press it twice while playing to
select a different music module). By default the only in-game
music is the three title screen songs, but you can add more by
going to our web site and downloading the DX-Ball 2 Music Pack
with a bunch of free tunes by SideWinder, or by downloading your
own favorite MOD, XM, or S3M format songs and placing them in
the DXBall2InGameMods directory. If you use songs with more
than 8 voices, you'll have to increase the music voice count
in the config.cfg file, and due to technical limitations, 32
voice songs aren't supported.
Troubleshooting:（游戏配置）If you're having trouble running the game, first make sure your
graphics card is capable of a640x480x16-bitdisplay by changing
your Windows desktop resolution toat least 16-bit or High Color
or 65536 color (please note, NOT "16 color").Most other problems
are related to old or buggy display drivers. Go to your video
card manufacturer's web site and download and install the latest
drivers for your graphics card, and then download and install the
latest version of Microsoft's DirectX. One way to find it is to
search for "DirectX" on www.download.com.
If after installing the latest display drivers and the latest
DirectX you are still encountering problems, please send us a bug
report with as much detail on your system and the exact nature
of the problem as possible, and we'll try to help!
If you're an advanced user, be sure to check out the config.cfg
file in the DXBall2 directory (open it in Notepad, it's just a
text file). It includes a number of specific configuration
options not accessible from inside the game itself.
