BASICS: - You must hit the opponent with your projectile to gain a point. When you get 5 points you win! Points are carried onto later matches and will be reset when key 'r' is pressed. TITLE SCREEN: - To select your character, you must click the blue downward facing triangle in the small dark blue box under the words 'player 1' or 'Player 2'. This shows a drop down menu of icons, which correspond to the tank they will select. Click on the ICON of the character you want to use and the drop down menu will disappear. There are small arrows next to the downwards facing triangle (which should be upwards facing when the drop down menu is shown) which change the page of the tanks. Once both players have selected their tank then a play button will appear. Click it to start the game. CONRTOLS: - Player 1: 'W' and 'D' to move, 'space' to fire, 'Q' to nudge UFO, 'E' to activate UFO. 'F', 'G', and 'H' fire techno tank machine gun. '1', '2' and '3' select the weapon. - Player 2: Up and down arrow keys to move, 'P' to fire, 'O' to nudge UFO, 'I' to activate UFO. 'J', 'K' and 'L' fire techno tank machine gun. 'B', 'N' and 'M' select the weapon. UFO: - When used above a tank, the tank will die and the opposing player will automatically win (see scoring for more) - It appears after 10 seconds - The position of the UFO is shown on the UFO Position board (negative numbers mean it is on the left, positive numbers show it is on the right. -3 is over player 1 and 3 is over player 2). SCORING: - You will gain a point if you hit the enemy with a projectile - UFO's will give full points to who ever uses it against the enemy - 'R' resets the score and resurrects either/both tank(s). - Clicking the Green Flag will reset score and bring you back to the title screen - 5 points = win and win message! - The square in the middle shows health of tanks, their score and what attack they are using UNITS: - The are currently 6 available units. Here is a list of them: - Techno Tank = A regular tank which fires a cannon ball. - Doodle Tank = Another regular tank which fires a cannon ball. - UKIP Tank = A customised techno tank for my friend. - Charizard = A pokemon unit which fires fireballs. - Pikachu Tank = A pikachu in robotic armour with a special electric blast attack. When charging the attack, pikachu tank cannot move, however the blast covers a large area quickly when fired. There is also a faster but weaker laser attack. - The Doctor = A bit of an experiment at the moment... - Tardis Tank = Not made yet UPCOMING FEATURES: I hope to be adding the following: - Tournaments - Online multiplayer with cloud data - Better art/design - Power ups, Ammo, different projectiles and Supply Drops - Obstacles and goo (e.g. to slow tanks down if they go on it) - And of course bug fixes/stability improvements - More units and unit packs (I am planning to have 4 pokemon units, 4 political units, 4 normal tanks and 4 special tanks) - Stats (more health/armour/evasive abilities/fire power for different tanks). - More attacks - Unit discriptions

New graphics, a main menu, selectable tank types, different attack types. Old version now a separate project and called 'The Tank Game Classic'. OTHER INFO: - A single player version and a robot spin off (with single player mode too) may be released when this is finalised... - The music in this game has been composed by me, using a selection of apple loops from garageband (courtesy of apple inc. probably) - Full screen lags up the game a bit and the UFO sound effect glitches. - A separate tournament scratch project is under development. This will make scoring better and more advanced.
