#### The Enhanced OutRun Engine

CannonBall is a program which allows you to play an enhanced version of Yu Suzuki's seminal arcade racer, OutRun. Cannonball is not an emulator; it is a complete rewrite of the original game into portable C++.

**Install**

The snap includes the game engine only; when the game runs for the first time it will download the appropriate ROM files.

```
 sudo snap install cannonball
 sudo snap connect cannonball:joystick
```

**Enhancements**

* 60 fps gameplay (smoother than the original game)
* True widescreen mode (extend the play area by 25%)
* High-Resolution mode (improves sprite scaling)
* New Camera Views
* Time Trial Mode (Beat your time on a chosen level)
* Continuous Mode (Play all 15 stages sequentially)
* Western, Japanese & Prototype Track Support
* Support for Custom Tracks from LayOut
* Customisable Music
* Toggle Fixed Audio ROM
* High Score Saving
* Analog and Digital Controllers Supported
* Automatic gear change
* Cheats (No Traffic, Infinite Time)
* Optional Attract Mode AI Improvements
* More level objects
* Fixes for bugs present in the original game

**Controls**

Connect joypads, steering wheels and pedals before starting Cannonball. The default keys are as follows. You can redefine the keys in the menu.

* Cursors: Steering
* Z: Accelerate
* X: Brake
* Space: Gear Change
* 5: Insert Coin
* 1: Start
* Shift: Change Camera View
* F1: Pause
* F2: Advance a frame when paused (useful for observing visual problems)
* F3: Toggle/Freeze timers. (i.e. infinite time)
* F5: Menu
