    dta d" How a hit works.                       "
    dta d"------------------                      "
    dta d"Each weapon that results in an explosion"
    dta d"has its own blast radius.               "
    dta d"                                        "
    dta d"After the explosion, every tank in its  "
    dta d"range loses energy.                     "
    dta d"                                        "
    dta d"It works in such a way that if the hit  "
    dta d"is exactly on the center point of the   "
    dta d"tank EnergyDecrease receives the maximum"
    dta d"value for the weapon, and for each pixel"
    dta d"of distance from the center of the tank "
    dta d"this value is reduced by 8.             "
    dta d"                                        "
    dta d"For example, if a hit with the Baby     "
    dta d"Missile weapon hits the center of the   "
    dta d"tank perfectly, it will lose exactly 88 "
    dta d"units of energy (plus what it loses     "
    dta d"falling after the explosion).           "
    dta d"If you hit with the same weapon at a    "

    dta d"-----------------------------------     "
    dta d"* **White Flag** - causes the surrender "
    dta d"of the player (can sometimes be useful  "
    dta d"in a hopeless situation). The advantage "
    dta d"is that by surrendering you don't give a"
    dta d"big point to your opponents and don't   "
    dta d"cause one of them to gain by killing us,"
    dta d"you also limit the loss of your energy  "
    dta d"and also cash. An important note - this "
    dta d"is the only defensive weapon that can be"
    dta d"deactivated. All you have to do is      "
    dta d"re-enter inventory and once again select"
    dta d"its activation.                         "
    dta d"                                        "
    dta d"* **Battery** - when activated, it      "
    dta d"recharges the tank's energy to full (99 "
    dta d"units). It is one of three defensive    "
    dta d"weapons that does not deactivate other  "
    dta d"defensive weapons when used.            "
    dta d"                                        "
    dta d"* **Hovercraft** - a weapon that allows "
    dta d"the tank to move. It has its own fuel   "
    dta d"supply in form of electric eels and in  "
    dta d"addition, it can be activated multiple  "
    dta d"times during the same turn, and after   "
    dta d"using it, you can activate another      "
    dta d"defensive weapon and fire a shot in the "
    dta d"same turn. After using it, the tank     "
    dta d"rises above the mountains and using the "
    dta d"cursor keys or a controller you can move"
    dta d"the tank to a new position. [SPACE] or  "
    dta d"the controller button cause the tank to "
    dta d"land in a new place. You can fly until  "
    dta d"the tank runs out of eels (presented on "
    dta d"the status bar like the energy of a     "
    dta d"defensive weapon), if the eel fuel runs "
    dta d"out the tank will fall down on its own. "
    dta d"It is not possible to land on other     "
    dta d"tanks.                                  "
    dta d"                                        "
    dta d"* **Parachute** - does not protect      "
    dta d"against loss of energy due to a         "
    dta d"neighboring explosion, makes you not    "
    dta d"lose energy during ONE fall. After such "
    dta d"a fall, it deactivates and a new        "
    dta d"parachute must be activated.            "
    dta d"                                        "
    dta d"* **Shield** - the simplest shield works"
    dta d"exactly the opposite of **Parachute**,  "
    dta d"it does not protect against energy loss "
    dta d"while falling, instead it protects      "
    dta d"against energy loss caused by ONE       "
    dta d"adjacent explosion. It protects once, no"
    dta d"matter how strong the explosion is      "
    dta d"(whether tis but a scratch or a direct  "
    dta d"hit with a nuke), and deactivates       "
    dta d"immediately afterward.                  "
    dta d"                                        "
    dta d"* **Heavy Shield** - a shield with its  "
    dta d"own energy (at the start of 99 units),  "
    dta d"it works the same as **Shield** (does   "
    dta d"not protect against falling) with the   "
    dta d"exception that it has its own energy    "
    dta d"resource. When exploding, the energy of "
    dta d"this shield is reduced first, and if it "
    dta d"reaches 0, the shield deactivates and   "
    dta d"further reduces the tank's energy. Due  "
    dta d"to this action, a tank with this type of"
    dta d"shield can be ""killed"" by undermining   "
    dta d"it, because falling reduces the energy  "
    dta d"of the tank and not the shield.         "
    dta d"                                        "
    dta d"* **Force Shield** - the strongest      "
    dta d"shield - works just like Heavy Shield   "
    dta d"only that it is combined with           "
    dta d"**Parachute**. What is important in this"
    dta d"case, falling does not take energy away "
    dta d"from the shield or the tank. It is only "
    dta d"taken away by hits.                     "
    dta d"                                        "
    dta d"* **Bouncy Castle** - a                 "
    dta d"passive-aggressive weapon :). It works  "
    dta d"as follows - in a case of a direct tank "
    dta d"hit (and shield), it causes the         "
    dta d"projectile to ""bounce"" in the opposite  "
    dta d"direction with the same force with which"
    dta d"it was fired. In the absence of wind and"
    dta d"a difference in level, the weapon then  "
    dta d"hits the tank that fired it. After such "
    dta d"a bounce, it deactivates. As the weapon "
    dta d"reacts in this way only to precise hits,"
    dta d"it is also works like **Heavy Shield**  "
    dta d"and has 99 units at the start (we will  "
    dta d"probably have to rethink this value and "
    dta d"give a smaller one here).               "
    dta d"                                        "
    dta d"* **Mag Deflector** - the second        "
    dta d"passive-aggressive weapon :) . In case  "
    dta d"of a direct hit on a tank (and shield), "
    dta d"it causes the hit point to move randomly"
    dta d"to the left or right side of the        "
    dta d"protected tank, but not very far, so you"
    dta d"can get ""shrapnel"" with stronger        "
    dta d"weapons. As in the case of **Bouncy     "
    dta d"Castle**, it is also a shield that      "
    dta d"corresponds to the action of **Heavy    "
    dta d"Shield** and has 99 units at the start  "
    dta d"(probably here we will have also to     "
    dta d"rethink this value and give a smaller   "
    dta d"one).                                   "
    dta d"                                        "
    dta d"* **Nuclear Winter** - adds nothing,    "
    dta d"takes nothing away :) - in fact, it is  "
    dta d"not so much a defensive weapon as a     "
    dta d"double-edged one. It floods the area    "
    dta d"with ""radioactive"" fallout, which is    "
    dta d"ordinary soil. If you do not have at    "
    dta d"hand any weapon that digs up the        "
    dta d"terrain, and for that a shield          "
    dta d"(preferably disposable), then after such"
    dta d"""fallout"" you will have to shoot        "
    dta d"yourself - because being underground is "
    dta d"otherwise impossible. Alternatively,    "
    dta d"**White Flag** always remains.          "
    dta d"                                        "
    dta d"* **Long Schlong** - a special weapon :)"
    dta d"- Costs a lot, doesn't really help with "
    dta d"anything (except possibly digging       "
    dta d"yourself out but only when slightly     "
    dta d"buried but it has a cool name and looks "
    dta d"cool :) - It can be activated           "
    dta d"independently of other defensive weapons"
    dta d"and remains active until the end of the "
    dta d"round (it cannot be deactivated).       "
    dta d"                                        "
    dta d"* **Lazy Boy** - it is not actually a   "
    dta d"defensive weapon. It is an aiming aid.  "
    dta d"When it is activated, the tank tries to "
    dta d"aim at the nearest enemy and            "
    dta d"automatically adjusts the power of the  "
    dta d"shot and angle. If it has too little    "
    dta d"energy, it can sometimes aim wrong (it  "
    dta d"uses a method like **Cyborg** to aim).  "
    dta d"Like **Battery**, it does not deactivate"
    dta d"other defensive weapons when used. Note:"
    dta d"There is no point in activating this    "
    dta d"weapon before the round, targeting will "
    dta d"not take place because there is nothing "
    dta d"to target yet.                          "
    dta d"                                        "
    dta d"* **Lazy Darwin** - works just like     "
    dta d"**Lazy Boy** but targets the weakest    "
    dta d"opponent. In this weapon, after         "
    dta d"automatic targeting, ""visual targeting"" "
    dta d"remains active, so you can easily change"
    dta d"the target and independently select     "
    dta d"another opponent by seeing if you hit   "
    dta d"him.                                    "
    dta d"                                        "

    dta d"there is more space assuming that this  "

    dta d"* **Tosser** - When attacking, he acts  "
    dta d"exactly like **Poolshark** however, he  "
    dta d"may have a ""better"" weapon inventory due"
    dta d"to a different purchase tactic. He      "
    dta d"always activates the best defensive     "
    dta d"weapon he has before shooting. And just "
    dta d"like **Poolshark** he uses **Battery**  "
    dta d"and **White Flag**. At the beginning of "
    dta d"the round, he assesses how much money he"
    dta d"has and depending on that, he makes     "
    dta d"(money/5100) attempts to buy defensive  "
    dta d"weapons and then checks again how much  "

    dta d"is modified by the parameter of luck :) "
    dta d", that is, despite the precise aiming it"
    dta d"does not always hit. He shoots with the "

    dta d"himself. He always activates the best   "
    dta d"defensive weapon he has before shooting "
    dta d"and, like **Poolshark**, uses           "
    dta d"**Battery** and **White Flag**. He      "

    dta d"hit the target of his choice, it can be "
    dta d"a more precise shot than **Chooser**. If"
    dta d"he is unable to hit his chosen target,  "
    dta d"he tries to choose another target that  "
    dta d"he can accurately hit. He uses defensive"
    dta d"weapons exactly like **Chooser**. At the"
    dta d"beginning of the round, he assesses how "
    dta d"much money he has and depending on that,"
    dta d"he makes (money/5100) attempts to buy   "
    dta d"defensive weapons and then checks again "
    dta d"how much money he has left and makes    "
    dta d"(money/320) attempts to buy offensive   "
    dta d"weapons. When buying defensive weapons, "
    dta d"he buys only strong and precise weapons "
    dta d"- that is, weapons that won't           "
    dta d"accidentally hurt him.                  "

    dta d"opponent (with the least amount of      "
    dta d"energy) but prefers human-controlled    "
    dta d"opponents. If he is unable to hit his   "
    dta d"chosen target, he tries to choose       "
    dta d"another target that he can accurately   "
    dta d"hit. Aims very accurately and in the    "
    dta d"vast majority of cases hits on the first"
    dta d"shot. He fires the shot with the best   "
    dta d"weapon he has unless the target is      "
    dta d"close. Then he changes his weapon to    "
    dta d"**Baby Missile** to avoid hitting       "
    dta d"himself. He uses defensive weapons      "
    dta d"exactly like **Chooser** but if he has  "
    dta d"more than 2 pieces of **Battery** he    "
    dta d"uses them if the energy decreases below "
    dta d"60 units.. He shops exactly like        "
