+Before running make on the project, double check the first few lines of the Makefile and make sure you build the right version.

I used MinGW with gcc to build the project.

+CUSTOM RESOLUTIONS:
+
+If your preferred screen resolution doesn't show up in the screen resolution menu,
+launch the game with argument "resolution *x*", and enter your screen resolution dimensions in the fields marked by *.
+
+ISSUES WITH HIGHER RESOLUTIONS:
+
+ROTTEXPR is capable of running at higher resolutions than the original release of ROTT, however this comes with a few issues.
+
+1. Being able to see through walls when up against them.
+ For this issue, visit "ADJUST FOCAL WIDTH" under "VISUAL OPTIONS", and raise the value until the issue disappears.
+
+2. The fullscreen toggle (ALT-ENTER) nor the FULLSCREEN option in EXT USER OPTIONS works.
+ This feature is currently nonfunctional in Windows OSes. It currently functions under Linux OSes. If you wish to run ROTTEXPR in a window, run rott.exe with the "window" argument.
+
+3. The game refuses to run at anything higher than 4k.
+ 4k resolution is currently the limit set in code.
