+===Under Construction===
+In fact, these Q&A's are not asked frequently at all.
+They all came from the messed up mind of the author!
+
+Q: I JUST CAN'T start it! (I can't see even a window!)
+A: Something must went wrong. There are two general causes.
+ 1. Failed to load a shared library.
+ 2. Initialization Failure.
+If the first one happened, BLRLOG.TXT will not even be created.
+To solve it, install the required runtime libs.
+If the second one happened, you can find out what really happened in
+BLRLOG.txt.
+
+However, the first one is not likely to happen. The official Windows
+build doesn't have too much external dependencies.
+
+Q: It crashed!
+A: This program is *pretty unstable* and may crash at any time.
+ If it crashed, you can post your problem with BLRLOG.txt attatched
+ to google code issue tracker. I'll try to fix the problem if I can
+ reproduce it.
+
+Q: "Cannot decompress resources!" (Windows only)
+A: I've compressed the resources of the game for Windows. As the game
+ starts, it will create two folders and decompress the resources
+ into them. If that failed, this problem will be reported.
+ Restarting the game may solve the problem.
+
+Q: Your code cannot compile!
+A: I'm pretty sure that it CAN compile(on my machine).
+ Check if you have all required sdks.
+ Additionally, if you checked out an older revision from svn, I
+ cannot guarantee that it can compile!
+
+Q: You included in-game music in your package, but they are not played!
+A: The playing code is commented. You can figure it out yourself.
+
+Q: What are BLRData.dtp and BLRMusic.dtp?
+A: As the name tells, these are archives containing the game data.
+ You can decompress them with expand.exe (which may be found in
+ the mystery folder "system32").
+
+Q: It's blurred?
+A: The game was designed for 800x600, and if you are using a resolution
+ other than 800x600 or running in fullscreen, this problem may occur.
+
+Q: I don't think the graphics are being rendered correctly.
+A: I don't know much about DirectX, for I left hge DirectX untouched.
+ However it shouldn't differ too much from the OpenGL version.
+ All quads are rendered as triangles, and uses vertex buffer.
+ Maybe there are "graphics driver dependent" contents, I'll correct them
+ later.
+
+Q: Tell me the history.
+A: Changelog tracked a full history of this project (Although it's not
+ detailed).
+ By the way, this project started as a fork of BLR I, which is already
+ closed by me now.
+
+Q: Are there command line options?
+A: Yes. It's documented in README.txt.
+ BTW, --start and --fast came up for debug purpose only.
+ However they are a hidden bonus for cheaters.
+ So, I won't remove that in the final version. I promise.
+ (P.S.: misusage of --start may cause severe problems!)
+
+Q: Rankings of this game?
+A: If you can reach level 1~3...
+ --You are not suitable playing this sort of game.
+ If you can reach level 4~6...
+ --You are a normal human-being.
+ If you can pass level 6 or reach level 7...
+ --You are unusual.
+ If you can pass level 7...
+ --Are you "nobody"?
+ If you can pass level -1...
+ --Tell me the reason why you come to Earth...
+
+Q: Are there other awards?
+A: Sorry, no...
+ You won't get anything but the ranking even you've passed level -1 without
+ collisions.
+ So... enjoy it yourself.
+
+Q: What hardwares/softwares do you use?
+A: I'm using a Lenovo Ideapad Y570 with Intel Core i7-2670QM CPU.
+ It has 8GiB of RAM and HD3000+Nvidia GT 555M. However I've disabled
+ GT 555M in BIOS so that it won't heat too much. Additionally,
+ I've got a 256GiB Crucial M4 SSD (That's useless, uh?).
+ This game is mainly developed under GNU/Linux.
+ I use Debian sid as my main system. (Yes, that's one of the reasons why
+ I like to "live on the edge".) KDE is my current desktop environent.
+ Usually, I use Code::Blocks IDE. Sometimes I use vim/geany+gdb.
+ For windows version compile, I use Visual Studio 2013 express.
+ The game graphic resources are made with GIMP.
+ Musics are made with Rosegarden, synthed with fluidsynth(qsynth frontend),
+ recorded with jack.record.
