Third Party Credits:

• Sqrxz uses code of the following Open-Source projects in an unmodified form: SDL, SDL_Mixer, libmodplug and zlib.
• The use of those libraries is also promoted with a screen "ingame". If anyone wants to have the object files, feel free to ask.
• The "Scale2x" function used for antialias is an own recoded implementation by Yannick Erb and does not use the original GPL'ed code. You may want to check this page for more information.
• Please kindly note "scale2x", "bilinear antialias" and "scanlines", once activated, will intense CPU usage and might lead to slowdowns and higher energy consumption, which therefore will decrease battery life on portable devices. Availability of these functions is OS depending.
