## 6. And now for defensive weapons:
|
||||
|
||||
* **White Flag** - causes the surrender of the player (can sometimes be useful in a hopeless situation). The advantage is that by surrendering you don't give a big point to your opponents and don't cause one of them to gain by killing us, you also limit the loss of your energy and also cash. An important note - this is the only defensive weapon that can be deactivated. All you have to do is re-enter inventory and once again select its activation.
|
||||
* **Battery** - when activated, it recharges the tank's energy to full (99 units) and at the same time is the only defensive weapon that does not deactivate other defensive weapons when used.
|
||||
* **Hovercraft** - a weapon that allows the tank to move. It has its own fuel supply in form of electric eels and in addition, it can be activated multiple times during the same turn, and after using it, you can activate another defensive weapon and fire a shot in the same turn. After using it, the tank rises above the mountains and using the cursor keys or a joystick you can move the tank to a new position. [SPACE] or the joystick button cause the tank to land in a new place. You can fly until the tank runs out of eels (presented on the status bar like the energy of a defensive weapon), if the eel fuel runs out the tank will fall down on its own. It is not possible to land on other tanks.
|
||||
* **Parachute** - does not protect against loss of energy due to a neighboring explosion, makes you not lose energy during ONE fall. After such a fall, it deactivates and a new parachute must be activated.
|
||||
* **Shield** - the simplest shield works exactly the opposite of **Parachute**, it does not protect against energy loss while falling, instead it protects against energy loss caused by ONE adjacent explosion. It protects once, no matter how strong the explosion is (whether it's just a "scratch" or a direct hit with a nuke), and deactivates immediately afterward.

It protects once, no matter how strong the explosion is (whether tis but a scratch or a direct hit with a nuke), and deactivates immediately afterward.
|
||||
* **Heavy Shield** - a shield with its own energy (at the start of 99 units), it works the same as **Shield** (does not protect against falling) with the exception that it has its own energy resource. When exploding, the energy of this shield is reduced first, and if it reaches 0, the shield deactivates and further reduces the tank's energy. Due to this action, a tank with this type of shield can be "killed" by undermining it, because falling reduces the energy of the tank and not the shield.
|
||||
* **Force Shield** - the strongest shield - works just like Heavy Shield only that it is combined with **Parachute**. What is important in this case, falling does not take energy away from the shield or the tank. It is only taken away by hits.
|
||||
* **Bouncy Castle** - a passive-aggressive weapon :) . It works as follows. In case of a direct hit on the tank (and cover), it causes the projectile to "bounce" in the opposite direction with the same force with which it was fired. In the absence of wind and a difference in level, the weapon then hits the tank that fired it. After such a bounce, it deactivates. As the weapon reacts in this way only to precise hits, it is also a shield that corresponds to the action of **Heavy Shield** and has 99 units at the start (you will probably have to rethink this value and give a smaller one here).

|
||||
* **Mag Deflector** - the second passive-aggressive weapon :) . In case of a direct hit on a tank (and shield), it causes the hit point to move randomly to the left or right side of the protected tank, but not very far, so you can get "shrapnel" with stronger weapons. As in the case of **Bouncy Castle**, it is also a shield that corresponds to the action of **Heavy Shield** and has 99 units at the start (probably here we will have also to rethink this value and give a smaller one).
|
||||
* **Nuclear Winter** - adds nothing, takes nothing away :) - in fact, it is not so much a defensive weapon as a double-edged one. It floods the area with "radioactive" fallout, which is ordinary soil. If you do not have at hand any weapon that digs up the terrain, and for that a shield (preferably disposable), then after such "fallout" you will have to shoot yourself - because being underground is otherwise impossible. Alternatively, **White Flag** always remains.
|
||||
* **Long Schlong** - a special weapon :) - Costs a lot, doesn't really help with anything (except possibly digging yourself out but only when slightly buried but it has a cool name and looks cool :) - It can be activated independently of other defensive weapons and remains active until the end of the round (it cannot be deactivated).
|
||||
|
||||
Due to the different operations of **MIRV**, defensive weapons **Bouncy Castle** and **Mag Deflector** only use the shielding function when hit by these weapons. In addition, **MIRV** heads do not bounce or fly through sidewalls during descent!
|
||||
|
||||
None of the shields protect against **Napalm**. **Bouncy Castle** or **Mag Deflector** on a direct hit will deflect it or carry it past, but just hit very close to a tank and its shield will not work.

**White Flag**, **Hovercraft** and **Nuclear Winter** weapons, when selected, require activation, this is accomplished by "firing a shot" after the selection of that weapon. Of course, the shot of the offensive weapon is then not fired, but only the selected defensive weapon is activated.

What is going on? Are we getting crazy or what?

Changes:
|
||||
* Background color indicates type of walls. This is very useful when `rand` option is selected.
|
||||
* XEGS users requested that console keys are used when no keyboard attached! We delivered! [SELECT] to select an offensive weapon, [OPTION] to jump into inventory, defensive section, [START] + [OPTION] - immediate Game Over (no confirmation for you keyboardless folks)
|
||||
* A very silly bug detected by our young testers fixed - the game crashed when you built a very high mountain using Dirt Balls :)
|
||||
* Boxy infinite bounce bug fixed.
|
||||
* Funky bombs bouce off the walls!
|
||||
* First letter entered for a tank name was inserted in a wrong spot. How did it work at all? Magic.

||||
* [ESC] now correctly exits purchase screen.
