README
Simple shooter game that shows how to use the Gosu library to create a game with Ruby. This example game uses a 
small simple framework which allows the programmer to create and handle custom sprites and game states (ie, game screens 
such as the main menu, the play screen, etc).

Running
=======

You'll need the gosu gem:
$ gem install gosu

Then run the main.rb file:
$ruby main.rb

How to play
===========

Menu controls:

* Use the arrow keys (up and down) to browse the different menu options
* Press Enter or the space bar to select the highlighted option
* Press Esc to quit the game or go back to the main menu screen 

In game controls:

* Use the arrow keys to move the space ship horizontally.
* Hit the space bar to shoot
* Avoid colliding with aliens!
* Press Esc to go back to the main menu
