#### 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

## Enable snaps on CentOS and install Cannonball

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap is available for [CentOS 7.6+](https://snapcraft.io/install/cannonball/centos), and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6+, from the [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The EPEL repository can be added to your system with the following command:

```
sudo yum install epel-release
```

Snap can now be installed as follows:

```
sudo yum install snapd
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.

### Install Cannonball

To install Cannonball, simply use the following command:

```
sudo snap install cannonball
```
