================

Moto Trial Racer is a Nokia Developer example that demonstrates integrating QML
with Box2D physics engine. See more information about the project at:

What's new
----------
Moto Trial Racer provides items that can be used in the game for sale via
In-application Purchase API.

Note: In-application Purchase functionality is enabled by INAPP_BILLING macro
defined in the project file. If enabled, the functionality is supported only on
Symbian platform. For more information about the In-App Purchase integration see
the project wiki page:

1. Playing Moto Trial Racer
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The goal is to get the motorcycle and the driver to the chequered flag as fast 
as possible. The game ends if any part of the motorcycle or player touches the 
spikes, or if the player's head touches any other object. When the player gets 
to the chequered flag fast enough, he/she gets his/her name and time on the 
high scores list. The game can be paused, restarted, and exited at any time 
via the options menu.

The motorcycle is accelerated by tilting the device towards the player and 
braked by tilting the device away from the player. The center of mass can be 
moved backwards/forwards by tilting the device left/right.


2. Installing and Running the Application
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.1 Using Qt SDK
----------------

You may also install and run the application on the device by using the Qt SDK.
Open the project in the SDK, set up the correct target (depending on the device
platform) and click the Run button. For more details about this approach, please
visit Qt Getting Started at Nokia Developer
(http://www.developer.nokia.com/Develop/Qt/Getting_started/).

2.2 Symbian Device
------------------

There are two ways to install the application on the device.

0. The Qt libraries (4.7.4 or higher) must be installed. See the section
   COMPATIBILITY for more information about the installation.

1. a) Drag the Moto Trial Racer .sis file to the Nokia Ovi Suite while the
      device is connected with the USB cable.

   OR

   b) Send the application directly to the Messaging Inbox (for example,
      through Bluetooth).

2. After the installation is complete, return to the application menu and
   select the Applications folder.

3. Locate the Moto Trial Racer icon and select it to launch the application.

2.3 Nokia N9 and Nokia N950
---------------------------

Copy the application Debian package onto the device. Locate the file with the
device and run it; this will install the application. Note that you can also
use the terminal application and install the application typing the command
'dpkg -i <package name>.deb' on the command line. To install the application
using the terminal application, make sure you have the right privileges 
to do so (e.g. root access).

Once the application is installed, locate the application icon from the
application menu and launch the application by tapping the icon.
