tank battle (pvp)
« on: April 04, 2026, 04:29:12 am »
This game is based on one of the same name in Tim Hartnell's 1983 "Giant Book of Spectrum Games". The original basci version was written by Raymond Blake.

This game is unusual because it is player v player (not player v computer).

To move use:
  Tank 1: W A S D   and (Z=shoot)
  Tank 2: I J K L     and (M=shoot)

The first player to score a hit, wins. If two shells collide they will explode. :)

NOTE: there is a checkbox to include "random obstacles" this replaces the fixed walls in the middle with random 'blocks' - check this _before_ Starting...

Enjoy.

Oops! I just noticed that the version I posted yesterday had a 5-second "life" for explosions. I had made it like that so I could get a screen-capture with an explosion. :)

The version attached here clears explosions (when shells collide) about 0.5 seconds.

cheers

PS: If a shell hits the explosion, it explodes...
