+You can play using the keyboard (all functionality) or the joystick in any port (all functionality necessary for gameplay).

 ## 1. Game Option Selection.
 ![Game options screen.](images/MainMenu.png)
-
 On the first screen, you can configure gameplay options:
-* number of players (2 - 6) includes both human and computer-controlled players
-* the initial amount of cash of each player (2K is the optimal value we chose, but for short games, it is worth choosing a higher value)
-* gravity
-* maximum wind strength (wind is drawn at the beginning of each round or during the round between turns, here we can choose how strong it can be):
-	* 1B - maximum wind strength: 5
-	* 3B - maximum wind strength: 20
-	* 5B - maximum wind strength: 40
-	* 7B - maximum wind strength: 70
-	* 9B - maximum wind strength: 99
-* number of rounds in a game
-* missile speed (does not affect the flight path - only changes the apparent missile speed - does not change anything in the gameplay itself)
-* frequency of suicides :) - if for a number of turns the game has not recorded hits (tanks are constantly shooting inaccurately), after one of such misses a tank commits suicide - here you determine how long they can "shooting for the stars" :) - if only people play the optimal setting is "norm", in the case of computer-controlled players ... you choose.
-* The height (and undulation) of the mountains from almost flat (NL - Kingdom of the Netherlands), to soaring and high (NP - Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal)
-* the way the walls (edges of the screen) work:
-    * none - projectiles that flew off the screen do not return (black color of the screen frame)
-    * wrap - the screen "wraps" and projectiles that flew to the right appear on the left side and vice versa (purple color of the screen frame)
-    * bump - the right and left walls deflect projectiles that want to fly through them (dark blue color of the screen frame)
-    * boxy - just like bump, except that the "ceiling" also reflects projectiles (green color of the screen frame)
-    * rand - at the beginning of each round, one of the above 4 ways the walls work is drawn.
+
+* **Players** - number of players (2 - 6) includes both human and computer-controlled players
+
+* **Cash** - the initial amount of cash assigned to each player (2K is the optimal value we chose, but for short games, it is worth choosing a higher value)
+
+* **Gravity** - strength of gravity
+
+* **Wind** - maximum wind strength in Beaufort scale (wind is drawn at the beginning of each round or during the round between turns, here we can choose how strong it can be):
+    * 1B - maximum wind strength: 5
+    * 3B - maximum wind strength: 20
+    * 5B - maximum wind strength: 40
+    * 7B - maximum wind strength: 70
+    * 9B - maximum wind strength: 99
+
+* **Rounds** - number of rounds in a game
+
+* **Missiles** - missile speed (does not affect the flight path - only changes the apparent missile speed - does not change anything in the gameplay itself)
+
+* **Seppuku** - frequency of suicides :) - if for several turns the game has not recorded hits (tank is constantly shooting inaccurately), the tank commits suicide - here you determine how long they can "shoot for the stars" :) - if only people are playing the optimal setting is "norm", in the case of computer-controlled players ... you choose.
+
+* **Mountain** - The height (and undulation) of the mountains from almost flat (NL - Kingdom of the Netherlands) to soaring and high (NP - Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal)
+
+* **Walls** - the way the walls (edges of the screen) work:
+    * **none** - projectiles that flew off the screen never return (black color of the screen frame)
+    * **wrap** - the screen "wraps" and projectiles that flew to the right appear on the left side and vice versa (purple color of the screen frame)
+    * **bump** - the right and left walls deflect projectiles that try to fly through them (dark blue color of the screen frame)
+    * **boxy** - just like bump, except that the "ceiling" also bounces projectiles off (green color of the screen frame)
+    * **rand** - at the beginning of each round, one of the above 4 wall mechanics is chosen randomly.
 
     During gameplay, the current mode of the walls is represented by the color of the screen frame: none - black, wrap - purple, bump - dark blue, boxy - green.
 
 Select options with cursor keys or a joystick.
 
-The [TAB] or [SELECT] key, and on the Atari 5200 console, the [5] controller key change the color of the mountains (3 versions to choose from) or (if the cursor indicates the wind strength selection option "Wind") change the way the wind strength is drawn from "every round" to "every turn" and vice versa. Drawing every turn is indicated by the "?" sign next to the word "Wind".
+The **TAB**, **SELECT**, long press of first joystick button or second joystick button (supported Joy 2B+ standard or compatible), and on the Atari 5200 console, the **5** controller key changes the color of the mountains (3 versions to choose from).

+If the cursor indicates the wind strength selection option **Wind**, pressing **TAB** changes the way the wind strength is drawn from "every round" to "every turn" and vice versa. Drawing every turn is indicated by the **?** sign next to the word **Wind**.  
 
-## 2. Entering the name of players and selecting the level of computer-controlled players
+If the cursor indicates the gravity selection option **Gravity**, pressing **TAB** changes the procedure of falling ground to a less impressive but faster one, and vice versa. The selection of fast ground fall is indicated by the letter **f** next to the word **Gravity**.
+
+If the cursor points to the option of selecting the height of the mountains **Mountain**, pressing **TAB** toggles the option of changing the height of the mountains every round. Drawing every round is indicated by the **?** sign next to the word **Mountain**.

+The **TAB**, **SELECT** or second joystick button, and on the Atari 5200 console the **5** controller key allows you to choose which joystick port the player will use.  
+
+The **INVERSE** or **OPTION** key allows you to select one of the 3 available tank shapes. On the Atari 5200 console, this is achieved by cycling through joystick ports with the **5** key.  
+At the same time, you can enter the name of the selected player from the keyboard.  
+
+When the **RETURN** key is pressed or the Joystick button is pressed briefly, the screen switches to the next player until the difficulty levels for each player are selected.

+
+Large points received by the player are the number of tanks that died earlier. If any of the other tanks capitulated earlier (with **White Flag**) it is not added to those that died and does not grant points.
+Only these points determine the order in the summary.
+
 
 ### Energy of tanks.
-- At the beginning of each round, each tank has 99 ash units of energy.
-- Tanks' energy is depleted in 3 ways:
-    * one unit after each shot is fired
-    * while falling (one pixel down - 2 units).
+* At the beginning of each round, each tank has 99 units of energy.
+* Energy of tanks is depleted in 3 ways:
+    * one unit after each shot is fired,
+    * while falling (one pixel down - 2 units),
     * when a projectile hits the tank or next to it - and here the amount of energy subtracted depends on the distance from the center of the explosion and the type/power of the projectile.
 
-### How energy subtraction works (and earning money!).
-After each round the amount of money gained/lost is calculated, this is done on the basis of two variables accumulated by each tank during the round. These variables are:
 
-`gain` - energy "captured" from tanks hit (also if you hit yourself :) and here's the catch, if you have very little energy left it can be profitable to hit yourself with a powerful weapon!
+### Energy and money.
+How energy subtraction and earning money works:
 
-`lose` - energy lost due to explosion/fall (and here it is important - to count the total loss of energy even if the tank has less at the moment of hit).
+After each round the amount of money gained/lost is calculated, this is done based on two variables accumulated by each tank during the round. These variables are:
+
+**gain** - energy "captured" from tanks hit (also if you hit yourself :) and here's the catch, if you have very little energy left it can be profitable to hit yourself with a powerful weapon!
+
+**loss** - energy lost due to explosion/fall (and here it is important - to count the total loss of energy even if the tank has less at the moment of hit).
 
 In addition, the tank that won the round has a parameter gain (captured from hit tanks energy) increased by the remaining energy at the end of the round (because it did not die and should have it - although it also happens otherwise :) )
 
 Specifically:
 
+
 ### After each round:
-`money = money + (20 * (gain+energy))`.
+**money = money + (20 * (gain+energy))**
 
-`money = money - (10 * lose)`.
+**money = money - (10 * loss)**

 During a round, if another tank is hit as a result of a shot fired by a tank, the tank firing the shot "gets the energy" taken away from the hit tank.

 ## How a hit works.
 
-Each weapon that results in an explosion has its own blast radius.
+Each weapon that results in an explosion has its blast radius.
 
 After the explosion, every tank in its range loses energy.
 
 It works in such a way that if the hit is exactly on the center point of the tank `EnergyDecrease` receives the maximum value for the weapon, and for each pixel of distance from the center of the tank this value is reduced by 8.
 
-For example, if a hit with the Baby Missile weapon hits the center of the tank perfectly, it will lose exactly 88 units of energy (plus what it loses falling after the explosion).
+For example, if **Baby Missile** hits the center of the tank perfectly, it will lose exactly 88 units of energy (plus what it loses falling after the explosion).
 If you hit with the same weapon at a distance of 10 pixels from the center of the tank, the loss will be only 8 units.
 
 And here are the values of maximum energy loss for individual weapons. If a weapon explodes several times, each explosion is calculated independently (additional values in the table):
 
-| Offensive weapons | maximum energy loss |
-| --- | --- |
-| Baby Missile | 88 |
-| Missile | 136 |
-| Baby Nuke | 200 |
-| Nuke | 240 |
-| LeapFrog| 136 112 112 |
-| Funky Bomb | 168 88 (* 5) |
-| MIRV | 136 (* 5) |
-| Death's Head | 240 (* 5) |
-| Napalm | 40 (this weapon is different and the distance from the center is not determined, simply any tank in range of the flames loses 40 units of energy) |
-| Hot Napalm | 80 (the rule is the same as in Napalm) |
-| Baby Roller | 88 |
-| Roller | 168 |
-| Heavy Roller | 240 |
-| Riot Charge | 0 (no energy is subtracted, but a portion of the ground upward from the hit point in a 31-pixel radius is removed) |
-| Riot Blast | 0 (as in Riot Charge, but in a radius of 61 pixels) |
-| Riot Bomb | 0 (no energy is subtracted, but the ground in a radius of 17 pixels from the hit point is destroyed - as in the case of Missile. The weapon is useful for digging out after being buried, or for undermining an opponent) |
-| Heavy Riot Bomb | 0 (as in Riot Bomb, but the explosion radius is 29 pixels from the point of impact - as in the case of Nuke) |
-| Baby Digger | 0 (no energy is subtracted, but a portion of the ground is undermined in a radius of 60 pixels from the point of impact) |
-| Digger | 0 (as above - greater undermining) |
-| Heavy Digger | 0 (as above - greatest undermining) |
-| Baby Sandhog | (as above - another way of undermining) |
-| Sandhog | 0 (as above - larger dig) |
-| Heavy Sandhog | 0 (as above - largest dig) |
-| Dirt Clod | 0 (no energy is subtracted, but a ground ball with a radius of 12 pixels from the hit point is created. The weapon is useful for burying the opponent) |
-| Dirt Ball | 0 (as above, but the radius of the ball is 22 pixels) |
-| Ton of Dirt | 0 (as above, but the radius of the ball is 31 pixels) |
-| Liquid Dirt | 0 (floods the ground at the point of hit with liquid soil, filling in the depressions) |
-| Laser | x 100 (but here it is also different - equally 100 only in the case of a direct hit simply subtract 100 units of energy - that is, the tank always dies) |
 
-Large points received by the player is the number of tanks that died earlier than him. If any of the other tanks capitulated earlier (**White Flag**) is not added to those that died and does not give points.
-Only these points determine the order in the summary

 ## 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.

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). It is one of three defensive weapons 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 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 a case of a direct tank hit (and shield), 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 works like **Heavy Shield** and has 99 units at the start (we 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).
-* **Lazy Boy** - it is not actually a defensive weapon. It is an aiming aid. When it is activated, the tank tries to aim at the nearest enemy and automatically adjusts the power of the shot and angle. If it has too little energy, it can sometimes aim wrong (it uses a method like **Cyborg** to aim). Like **Battery**, it does not deactivate other defensive weapons when used. Note: There is no point in activating this weapon before the round, targeting will not take place because there is nothing to target yet.

+
 * **Lazy Darwin** - works just like **Lazy Boy** but targets the weakest opponent. In this weapon, after automatic targeting, "visual targeting" remains active, so you can easily change the target and independently select another opponent by seeing if you hit him.
+
 * **Auto Defense** - activates the mode of automatic activation of defensive weapons. After its activation, the tank automatically activates the strongest shield it has (consuming it, of course) at any time when there is no shield (also between shots of other players). At the same time, if the tank's energy level drops below 30 units, it automatically activates **Battery** if it has it. This weapon remains active until the end of the round and is indicated by the "computer" symbol before the name of the active defensive weapon in the status line. It is the second defensive weapon that does not deactivate other defensive weapons when used.
+
 * **Spy Hard** - Help for the forgetful :) . When activated, it shows a preview of information about the next opponents one by one. Left/Right - changes the "spied" tank. Fire/Space/Return/Esc - ends the "spying". This is the last defensive weapon, which does not deactivate other defensive weapons when used.
 
-Due to the different warhead tracking system of **MIRV** weapons, the **Bouncy Castle** and **Mag Deflector** defensive weapons only use the shielding function when hit by these weapons. In addition, **MIRV** warheads do not bounce or fly through sidewalls when falling!
+Due to the different warhead tracking systems of **MIRV** weapons, the **Bouncy Castle** and **Mag Deflector** defensive weapons only use the shielding function when hit by these weapons. In addition, **MIRV** warheads do not bounce or fly through sidewalls when falling!
 
 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 save it.
 
-**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.
+**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.
 
 You can only have one defensive weapon active at a time (except **Long Schlong** of course :) ). You can always change the decision and activate another defensive weapon or deactivate **White Flag** before firing.
 
 And of course, activating a weapon when you already have some other weapon activated causes the loss of the previous one (no returns :) ).

 ## 7. "Other" weapons:
 
 * **Best F...g Gifts** - this is a 'loot box', not a weapon per se. Buying it draws one of the offensive or (rarely) defensive weapons and adds it to the player's arsenal. It is a lottery in which you can lose (if you draw a weapon cheaper than the **Best F...g Gifts** price) but also gain. You can get a weapon otherwise not affordable at all! There is a small probability of drawing by **Best F...g Gifts** itself :). You can then try to use it in battle.

-* **Shooter** - This opponent does not shoot blindly. He chooses one direction for himself. Based on his own position - he shoots in the direction from which there is more space assuming that this is where the other tanks are. He starts firing from a high angle and shot after shot changes this angle to a lower and lower angle trying to fire the entire area on the chosen side. He always fires with the best weapon he has (the highest on the list of weapons he has - that is, not necessarily the best). He does not use defensive weapons even though he buys them!

He always shoots with the best weapon he has. He uses defensive weapons. With a probability of 1:3, he activates the best defensive weapon he owns (the highest on the list of weapons he owns - that is, not necessarily the best) before firing. If his energy level drops below 30 units - he uses **Battery** (of course, if he bought it before), if the energy drops below 5 and he has no **Battery** he surrenders - **White Flag**. At the beginning of the round he makes 1 attemp to buy defensive weapons and 6 offensive weapons.

He always activates the best defensive weapon he has before shooting. And just like **Poolshark** he uses **Battery** and **White Flag**. At the beginning of the round, he assesses how much money he has and depending on that, he makes (money/5100) attempts to buy defensive weapons and then checks again how much money he has left and makes (money/1250) attempts to buy offensive weapons.

-Trying to buy a weapon (offensive or defensive) is as follows:
-First, one of the weapons is drawn (among all possible offensive or defensive weapons). Then a check is performed to see if the drawn weapon is in the list of weapons possible for purchase by the tank. If not, no weapon is bought in this trial, and if so, its price is checked. If the tank has that much money, the weapon is bought, otherwise the trial ends without making a purchase.

+## 9. Tips from the peanut gallery.
+
+Remember your defensive tools. Properly using **Auto Defense**, **Shield**, and **Lazy Darwin** will help you defeat the **Cyborg**, even with the help of a **Baby Missile**.
+
+Fancier doesn't always mean better. Sometimes, a basic shield like the **Shield** is more effective than its pricier counterparts.
+
+**Napalm** pierces through shields and even the ground. Although it's burning above, it scorches buried tanks.
+
+**Lazy Darwin** also lends a hand in aiming weapons like the **Laser**.
+
+Robo tanks don't have a knack for digging themselves out. When buried, they meet their demise from their shots.
+
+In a hopeless situation, self-destruction might be a better option than waving the **White Flag**. Hitting yourself with a powerful weapon can earn you more cash than you'll lose (check the profit and loss calculation method).
+
+**Long Schlong** has got serious intimidating power. Become the alpha tank and fear not.
+
+Robo-tanks do not possess **Autodefense**, so their defenses activate only directly before their shot. A concentrated attack by several players on one robo tank guarantees success.
+
+As a last resort, you can always become a Terminator (the standard model, not T-1000 :) ).
+
+Break a barrel or two.

-# Podstawowa instrukcja:
-
-Grać można przy użyciu klawiatury (wszystkie funkcjonalności) lub joysticka (wszystkie funkcjonalności niezbędne w rozgrywce).
-
-## 1. Wybór opcji gry.
-![Ekran wyboru opcji gry.](images/MainMenu.png)
-
-Na pierwszym ekranie możemy skonfigurować opcje rozgrywki:
-* ilość graczy (2 - 6) obejmuje tak ludzi jak graczy sterowanych przez komputer
-* początkową ilość gotówki każdego z graczy (8k to wybrana przez nas wartość optymalna, lecz przy krótkich rozgrywkach warto wybrać większą wartość)
-* grawitacja
-* maksymalna siła wiatru (wiatr jest losowany na początku każdej z rund lub w czasie rundy pomiędzy turami, tu możemy wybrać jak silny może być):
-	* 1B - maksymalna siła wiatru: 5
-	* 3B - maksymalna siła wiatru: 20
-	* 5B - maksymalna siła wiatru: 40
-	* 7B - maksymalna siła wiatru: 70
-	* 9B - maksymalna siła wiatru: 99
-* liczba rozgrywanych rund
-* szybkość lotu pocisków (nie ma wpływu na tor lotu - zmienia jedynie widoczną prędkość rysowania - nie zmienia nic w samej rozgrywce)
-* częstotliwość samobójstw :) - jeśli przez ileś tur gra nie odnotowała trafień (czołgi ciągle strzelają niecelnie) jeden z takich pudłujących czołgów popełnia samobójstwo - tu określamy jak długo mogą “strzelać w próżnię” :) - jeśli grają tylko ludzie optymalne ustawienie to “norm”, w przypadku graczy sterowanych przez komputer… wedle uznania.
-* wysokość (i pofałdowanie) gór od prawie płaskich (NL - Królestwo Niderlandów), do strzelistych i wysokich (NP - Federalna Demokratyczna Republika Nepalu)
-* sposób działania ścian (krawędzi ekranu):
-	* none - pociski, które wyleciały poza ekran nie wracają (czarny kolor ramki ekranu)
-	* wrap - ekran "zawija się" i pociski, które wyleciały w prawo pojawiają się z lewej strony i odwrotnie (fioletowy kolor ramki ekranu)
-	* bump - prawa i lewa ściana odbijają pociski, które chcą przez nie przelecieć (granatowy kolor ramki ekranu)
-	* boxy - tak jak bump, tyle że "sufit" także odbija pociski (zielony kolor ramki ekranu)
-	* rand - na początku każdej rundy losowany jest jeden z 4 powyższych sposobów działania ścian
-	
-	W trakcie rozgrywki aktualny sposób działania ścian reprezentowany jest przez kolor ramki ekranu: none - czarny, wrap - fioletowy, bump - granatowy, boxy - zielony.
-
-Wybór opcji klawiszami kursora lub joystickiem.
-
-Klawisz [TAB] lub [SELECT], a na konsoli Atari 5200 klawisz [5] kontrolera zmieniają kolor gór (3 wersje do wyboru) lub (jeśli kursor wskazuje opcję wyboru siły wiatru "Wind") zmieniają sposób losowania siły wiatru z "co rundę" na "co turę" i odwrotnie. Losowanie co turę jest sygnalizowane znakiem "?" przy słowie "Wind".
-
-Klawisz [RETURN] lub przycisk Joysticka przechodzi do następnego ekranu.
-
-## 2. Wprowadzanie nazwy graczy i wybór poziomu graczy sterowanych przez komputer
-![Ekran wyboru graczy i poziomu trudności.](images/DiffMenu.png)
-
-Drugi ekran powtarza się dla każdego z graczy można na nim klawiszami kursora lub joystickiem wybrać czy danym czołgiem będzie kierował człowiek (opcja HUMAN) czy też komputer (pozostałe opcje).
-Klawisz [TAB] lub [SELECT], a na konsoli Atari 5200 klawisz [5] kontrolera pozwalają wybrać z którego portu joysticka będzie korzystał gracz.
-Klawisz [INVERSE] lub [OPTION] umożliwiają wybór jednego z 3 dostępnych kształtów czołgów. Na konsoli Atari 5200 uzyskuje się to poprzez cykliczne wybieranie kolejnych portów joysticka klawiszem [5].
-Jednocześnie z klawiatury można wprowadzić nazwę wybranego gracza.
-Po naciśnięciu klawisza [RETURN] lub krótkim naciśnięciu przycisku Joysticka ekran przechodzi na następnego gracza aż zostaną wybrane poziomy trudności dla wszystkich.
-Nazwę gracza można wprowadzać także przy pomocy joysticka. Po wciśnięciu i przytrzymaniu przycisku ponad 1s. za pomocą ruchów góra/dół można zmienić wprowadzaną literę, a lewo/prawo jej pozycję w nazwie. Puszczenie przycisku kończy wprowadzanie nazwy i wraca do wyboru poziomu.
-
-Jeśli nazwa nie zostanie wpisana, to zostanie uzupełniona nazwą domyślną.
-
-## 3. Ekran zakupów (przed każdą rundą)
-![Ekran zakupów broni ofensywnych.](images/PurOffensive.png)
-![Ekran zakupów broni defensywnych.](images/PurDefensive.png)
-
-Na tym ekranie można dokonywać zakupów broni ofensywnych i defensywnych. Widoczne są tylko te bronie na które gracza stać wraz z informacją o cenie i ilości jednostek danej broni, którą za ten cenę otrzymamy. Informacje na ekranie nie wymagają chyba więcej opisu. Po listach poruszamy się klawiszami kursora (góra i dół) lub joystickiem, klawisz [TAB] lub strzałka w lewo czy też ruch joystickiem w lewo zmieniają ekran na bronie defensywne lub ofensywne, klawisz [SPACJA] lub strzałka w prawo a także joystick w prawo realizują zakup wskazanej broni.
-
-Klawisz [RETURN] lub przycisk joysticka przechodzi do ekranu aktywacji broni defensywnych.
-
-![Ekran aktywacji broni defensywnych.](images/ActDefensive.png)
-
-Na ekranie tym można aktywować zakupione wcześniej bronie defensywne czy też ofensywne. Obsługiwany jest identycznie jak ekran zakupów, jednak [SPACJA] lub strzałka w prawo a także joystick w prawo realizują aktywacje wskazanej broni. Umożliwia to aktywowanie osłon jeszcze przed rozpoczęciem rundy.
-
-Klawisz [RETURN] lub przycisk joysticka przechodzi do ekranu zakupów następnego gracza.
-(oczywiście dla graczy komputerowych ten ekran się nie pojawia)
-
-## 4. Główny ekran gry
-![Główny ekran gry.](images/StatusLine.png)
-
-W linii statusowej widoczna jest informacja o tym który z graczy aktualnie może oddać strzał oraz zestaw innych informacji:
-* nazwa czołgu gracza
-* numer aktywnego joysticka lub poziom gracza sterowanego przez komputer (1-**Moron** - 8-**Unknown**),
-* wybrana aktualnie broń ofensywna (symbol ilość nazwa),
-* pozostała ilość punktów energii gracza i jeśli ma on aktywną broń defensywną posiadającą swój zasób energii - w nawiasie ten zasób
-* ustawiony przez gracza kąt nachylenia lufy i kierunek jej nachylenia
-* ustawiona przez gracza siła strzału (maksymalna siła strzału jest ograniczana przez energię gracza - nie może przekroczyć energii * 10 . Oznacza to, że mając małą ilość energii możemy oddać słabsze strzały
-* numer aktualnej rundy rozgrywki
-* prędkość i kierunek wiatru
-* symbol "komputera" jeśli aktywna jest **Auto Defense**
-* w nawiasie nazwę aktywnej broni defensywnej - jeśli jest jakaś aktywowana przez gracza
-
-Tutaj klawiszologia jest prosta, klawisze kursora lub joystick: lewo/prawo - zmiana kąta nachylenia lufy, góra/dół - zmiana ustawienia siły strzału.
-
-| A800 | 5200 | funkcja |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| [SPACJA] | [0] | lub przycisk joysticka naciśnięte krótko - oddanie strzału |
-| [TAB] lub [SELECT] | [5] | wybór broni ofensywnej (ta opcja nie jest dostępna bezpośrednio joystickiem - trzeba wybrać Inventory). |
-| [I] | [9] | lub dłuższe przytrzymanie przycisku joysticka - przejście do Inventory (aktywacji broni). Inventory to ekran (a w zasadzie dwa) bliźniaczo podobny do ekranu zakupów. Zasady poruszania się są identyczne z tym, że tu nie kupujemy broni, ale wybieramy jedną z ofensywnych, którą będziemy strzelać lub aktywujemy broń defensywną. |
-| [A] lub [OPTION] | [7] | bezpośrednie przejście na ekran Inventory aktywacji broni defensywnych. |
-| [M] | [PAUSE] | wyłączenie/włączenie muzyki w tle |
-| [S] | [RESET] | wyłączenie/włączenie dźwięków efektów. |
-| [START] | brak | przyspiesza/pomija niektóre animacje w grze |
-| [O] | [3] | wymuszenie zakończenia gry (Game Over). W podsumowaniu wyników nie jest brana pod uwagę przerwana właśnie runda rozgrywki, a wyłącznie rundy zakończone wcześniej. Odpowiada to wciśnięciu klawisza [ESC] z tą różnicą, że wyświetlane jest podsumowanie oraz creditsy. |
-| [START] + [OPTION] | brak | natychmiastowe wymuszenie zakończenia gry (Game Over), tak jak [O] ale bez potwierdzenia. |
-| [G] | brak | zmienia cieniowanie gór |
-| [ESC] | [*] | w czasie całej gry w dowolnym momencie (chyba że akurat gra komputer, wtedy czasem trzeba chwilę poczekać) można nacisnąć klawisz [ESC], który umożliwia przerwanie gry i powrót na początek (oczywiście jest zabezpieczenie przed przypadkowym naciśnięciem). |
-| [Y] | [1] | w przypadku pytania o przerwanie lub zakończenie gry - potwierdzenie decyzji |
-| [CTRL] + [HELP] | brak | Przełącza tryb "visual debug". Wizualizuje mierzone odległości, celowanie lasera oraz technikę celowania komputera. Pozostawia bałagan na ekranie, co nie zmienia rozgrywki, tylko ją nieco utrudnia. |
-
-## 5. Zasady gry - bronie ofensywne
-
-### Energia czołgów
-- Na początku każdej rundy każdy czołg ma 99 jednostek energii.
-- Energii czołgom ubywa na 3 sposoby:
-    * jedna jednostka po oddaniu każdego strzału
-    * w czasie spadania (jeden piksel w dół - 2 jednostki)
-    * w chwili trafienia w czołg lub obok niego jakiegoś pocisku - i tu ilość odejmowanej energii zależy od odległości od centrum eksplozji i typu/siły rażenia pocisku.
-
-### Jak działa odejmowanie energii (i zarabianie kasy!)
-Po każdej rundzie wyliczana jest ilość zdobytych/straconych pieniędzy, robione jest to na podstawie dwóch zmiennych gromadzonych przez każdy z czołgów w trakcie rundy. Te zmienne to:
-
-`gain` - energia "przechwycona" od trafionych czołgów (także jeśli trafimy w samego siebie :) i tu haczyk, jeśli pozostało nam bardzo mało energii opłacalne może być trafienie w siebie mocną bronią!
-
-`lose` - energia stracona w wyniku eksplozji/upadku (i tu ważne - liczona jest całkowita utrata energii nawet jeśli czołg ma w chwili trafienia mniej).
-
-Dodatkowo czołg który wygrał rundę ma parametr gain (przechwyconej od trafionych czołgów  energii) zwiększany o pozostałą mu na koniec rundy energię (bo nie zginął i powinien ją mieć - choć bywa też inaczej :) )
-
-Konkretnie:
-
-### Po każdej rundzie:
-`money = money + (20 * (gain+energy))`
-
-`money = money - (10 * lose)`
-
-`jeśli money <0 to money=0`
-
-(na starcie każdej rundy `gain` i `lose` mają wartość 0)
-
-W czasie rundy, jeśli w wyniku strzału oddanego przez czołg inny czołg zostanie trafiony, czołg oddający strzał "dostaje energię" zabraną czołgowi trafionemu.
-### czołg oddający strzał:
-`gain = gain + EnergyDecrease`
-### czołg trafiony:
-`lose = lose + EnergyDecrease`
-
-gdzie `EnergyDecrease` to utrata energii w wyniku trafienia.
-
-Oczywiście jednocześnie trafiony czołg traci ilość energii zapisaną w `EnergyDecrease`, z tym że tutaj strata nie może przekroczyć posiadanej energii.
-
-## Jak działa trafienie.
-
-Każda broń, która skutkuje eksplozją, ma swój promień rażenia.
-
-Po eksplozji każdy czołg w jej zasięgu traci energię.
-
-Działa to tak, że jeśli trafienie jest dokładnie w centralny punkt czołgu `EnergyDecrease` otrzymuje maksymalną wartość dla danej broni, a z każdym pikselem odległości od centrum czołgu wartość ta jest zmniejszana o 8.
-
-Przykładowo jeśli strzał oddany za pomocą broni Baby Missile trafi idealnie w centum czołgu to straci on dokładnie 88 jednostek energii (plus to co straci spadając po eksplozji).
-W przypadku trafienia tą samą bronią w odległości 10ciu pikseli od centrum czołgu strata ta będzie wynosiła już tyko 8 jednostek.
-
-A oto wartości maksymalnego ubytku energii dla poszczególnych broni. Jeśli broń eksploduje kilka razy, każda z eksplozji jest obliczana niezależnie (dodatkowe wartości w tabeli):
-
-| Broń ofensywna | maksymalna wartość ubytku energii |
-| --- | --- |
-| Baby Missile | 88 |
-| Missile | 136 |
-| Baby Nuke | 200 |
-| Nuke | 240 |
-| LeapFrog| 136 112 112 |
-| Funky Bomb | 168 88 (* 5) |
-| MIRV | 136 (* 5) |
-| Death's Head | 240 (* 5) |
-| Napalm | 40 (ta broń jest inna i nie jest wyznaczana odległość od centrum, po prostu każdy czołg znajdujący się w zasięgu płomieni traci 40 jednostek energii) |
-| Hot Napalm | 80 (zasada taka jak w Napalm) |
-| Baby Roller | 88 |
-| Roller | 168 |
-| Heavy Roller | 240 |
-| Riot Charge | 0 (nie jest odejmowana energia, ale usuwana jest część gruntu w górę od punktu trafienia w promieniu 31 pikseli) |
-| Riot Blast | 0 (jak w Riot Charge, tyle że w promieniu 61 pikseli) |
-| Riot Bomb | 0 (nie jest odejmowana energia, ale niszczony jest grunt w promieniu 17 pikseli od punktu trafienia - tak jak w wypadku Missile. Broń przydatna do odkopywania się po zasypaniu, bądź podkopywania przeciwnika) |
-| Heavy Riot Bomb | 0 (jak w Riot Bomb, ale promień eksplozji to 29 pikseli od punktu trafienia - tak jak w wypadku Nuke) |
-| Baby Digger | 0 (nie jest odejmowana energia, ale podkopywana jest część gruntu promieniu 60 pikseli od punktu trafienia) |
-| Digger | 0 (jak wyżej - większy podkop) |
-| Heavy Digger | 0 (jak wyżej - największy podkop) |
-| Baby Sandhog | 0 (jak wyżej - inny sposób podkopywania) |
-| Sandhog | 0 (jak wyżej - większy podkop) |
-| Heavy Sandhog | 0 (jak wyżej - największy podkop) |
-| Dirt Clod | 0 (nie jest odejmowana energia, ale tworzona jest kula gruntu o promieniu 12 pikseli od punktu trafienia. Broń przydatna do zakopywania przeciwnika) |
-| Dirt Ball | 0 (jak wyżej, ale promień kuli to 22 piksele) |
-| Ton of Dirt | 0 (jak wyżej, ale promień kuli to 31 pikseli) |
-| Liquid Dirt | 0 (zalewa grunt w punkcie trafienia płynną glebą wypełniając zagłębienia) |
-| Dirt Charge | 0 (nie jest odejmowana energia, ale usypywany jest dodatkowy grunt w górę od punktu trafienia w promieniu 61 pikseli. Broń przydatna do zakopywania przeciwnika) |
-| Laser | x 100 (ale tu także jest inaczej - równo 100 tylko w przypadku bezpośredniego trafienia po prostu odejmujemy 100 jednostek energii - czyli czołg zawsze ginie).|
-
-Duże punkty otrzymane przez gracza to ilość czołgów, które zginęły wcześniej niż on. Jeśli któryś z innych czołgów skapitulował wcześniej (Biała Flaga) nie jest doliczany do tych które zginęły i nie daje punktów.
-Tylko te punkty decydują o kolejności w podsumowaniu
-
-## 6. A teraz bronie defensywne:
-* **White Flag** - powoduje poddanie gracza (może czasem przydać się w sytuacji beznadziejnej). Zaletą jest to, że poddając się nie dajemy dużego punktu przeciwnikom i nie powodujemy, że któryś zyska na tym, że nas zgładzi, ograniczamy też stratę swojej energii czyli także kasy. I tu także ważna uwaga - to jedyna broń defensywna, którą można dezaktywować. Wystarczy ponownie wejść do inventory i jeszcze raz wybrać jej aktywację.
-* **Battery** - w momencie aktywacji doładowuje energię czołgu do pełna (99 jednostek). Jest to jedna z trzech broni defensywnych, która nie dezaktywuje innych broni defensywnych w przypadku jej użycia.
-* **Hovercraft** - broń umożliwiająca przemieszczanie się czołgu. Posiada własny zasób paliwa a dodatkowo może być aktywowana wielokrotnie w czasie tej samej tury, a po jej użyciu możemy w tej samej turze aktywować inną broń defensywną i oddać strzał. Po jej użyciu czołg uniesie się ponad góry i za pomocą klawiszy kursora lub joysticka: lewo/prawo możemy przemieścić czołg na nową pozycję a [SPACJA] lub przycisk joysticka powodują wylądowanie czołgu w nowym miejscu. Latać można do chwili skończenia się "paliwa" (prezentowanego na pasku statusu tak jak energia broni defensywnej), jeśli paliwo się skończy czołg opadnie samodzielnie. Nie da się lądować na innych czołgach.
-* **Parachute** - nie chroni przed ubytkiem energii z powodu sąsiedniej eksplozji, powoduje że nie ubywa energii w czasie JEDNEGO spadania. Po takim upadku dezaktywuje się i trzeba aktywować nowy spadochron.
-* **Strong Parachute** - spadochron z własną energią (na starcie 99 jednostek), działa tak samo jak Parachute (nie chroni przed eksplozjami) ma za to swój własny zasób energii przy spadaniu w pierwszej kolejności zmniejszana jest energia tego spadochronu (1 jednostka na jeden pixel opadania - inaczej niż czołg!) i jeśli dojdzie ona do 0 to spadochron dezaktywuje się i dalej zmniejszana jest energia czołgu (tutaj już standardowo - 2 jednostki na jeden pikxel).
-* **Shield** - najprostsza osłona działa dokładnie przeciwnie niż Parachute, nie chroni przed ubytkiem energii w czasie spadania, chroni za to przed ubytkiem energii spowodowanym JEDNĄ sąsiednią eksplozją. Chroni jednorazowo, bez znaczenia jak silna jest eksplozja (czy jest to tylko "draśnięcie", czy też bezpośrednie trafienie atomówką) i od razu po niej dezaktywuje się.
-* **Heavy Shield** - osłona z własną energią (na starcie 99 jednostek), działa tak samo jak Shield (nie chroni przed upadkiem) z tym wyjątkiem, że ma własny zasób energii. Przy eksplozji w pierwszej kolejności zmniejszana jest energia tej osłony i jeśli dojdzie ona do 0 to osłona dezaktywuje się i dalej zmniejszana jest energia czołgu. W związku z takim działaniem, czołg z tym typem osłony można "zabić" podkopując go, bo spadanie zmniejsza energię czołgu a nie osłony.
-* **Force Shield** - najmocniejsza osłona - działa tak jak Heavy Shield tyle że połączona z Parachute. Co ważne w jej przypadku upadek nie zabiera energii osłonie ani czołgowi. Zabierają ją tylko trafienia.
-* **Bouncy Castle** - broń agresywna :) . Działa następująco. W przypadku bezpośredniego trafienia w czołg (i osłonę) powoduje "odbicie" pocisku w przeciwnym kierunku z tą samą siłą z jaką był wystrzelony. W przypadku braku wiatru i różnicy poziomów broń trafia wtedy w czołg, który ją wystrzelił. Po takim odbiciu dezaktywuje się. W związku z tym, że broń ta reaguje w ten sposób tylko na precyzyjne trafienia, jest także osłoną odpowiadającą działaniu Heavy Shield i ma na starcie 99 jednostek (prawdopodobnie trzeba będzie przemyśleć tę wartość i dać tu mniejszą).
-* **Mag Deflector** - druga broń agresywna :) . W przypadku bezpośredniego trafienia w czołg (i osłonę) powoduje przesunięcie punktu trafienia losowo w lewo lub prawą stronę chronionego czołgu, ale niezbyt daleko, więc można dostać "odłamkiem" przy silniejszej broni. Tak jak w przypadku Bouncy Castle jest także osłoną odpowiadającą działaniu Heavy Shield i ma na starcie 99 jednostek (prawdopodobnie i tutaj trzeba będzie przemyśleć tę wartość i dać mniejszą).
-* **Nuclear Winter** - nic nie dodaje, nic nie zabiera :) - w zasadzie to broń nie tyle defensywna co obosieczna. Zasypuje teren opadem "radioaktywnym", który jest zwyczajną glebą. Jeśli nie mamy pod ręką żadnej broni odkopującej teren i do tego osłony (najlepiej jednorazowej), to po takim "opadzie" będzie trzeba strzelić do siebie - bo będąc pod ziemią inaczej się nie da. Ewentualnie pozostaje zawsze White Flag.
-* **Long Schlong** - broń specjalna :) - kosztuje dużo, nie bardzo w czymkolwiek pomaga (poza ewentualnym odkopaniem się ale tylko przy niewielkim przysypaniu ale fajnie się nazywa i wygląda :) - Można ją aktywować niezależnie od innych broni defensywnych i pozostaje aktywna do końca rundy (nie da się jej dezaktywować).
-* **Lazy Boy** - nie jest to właściwie broń defensywna. Jest to wspomaganie celowania. Po jej aktywacji czołg stara się wycelować w najbliższego przeciwnika i automatycznie ustawia siłę strzału oraz kąt. W przypadku posiadania zbyt małej ilości energii może czasem wycelować źle (do celowania stosuje metodę taką jak **Cyborg**). Tak jak **Battery** nie dezaktywuje innych broni defensywnych w przypadku jej użycia. Uwaga! Nie ma sensu aktywacja tej broni przed rundą, celowanie nie odbędzie się bo nie ma jeszcze do czego celować.
-* **Lazy Darwin** - działa tak jak **Lazy Boy** ale celuje w najsłabszego przeciwnika. W tej broni po automatycznym celowaniu pozostaje aktywne "celowanie wizualne" można więc łątwo zmienić cel i samodzielnie wybrać innego przeciwnika widząc czy w niego trafimy.
-* **Auto Defense** - włącza tryb automatycznej aktywacji broni defensywnych. Po jej aktywowaniu czołg automatycznie aktywuje najmocniejszą posiadaną osłonę (zużywając ją oczywiście) w każdej chwili, kiedy nie ma żadnej osłony (także pomiędzy strzałami innych graczy). Jednocześnie jeżeli poziom energii czołgu spadnie poniżej 30 jednostek, automatycznie aktywuje **Battery** jeżeli ją posiada. Ta broń pozostaje aktywna do końca rundy i jest sygnalizowana symbolem "komputera" przed nazwą aktywnej broni defensywnej w linii statusowej. Jest to druga broń defensywna, która nie dezaktywuje innych broni defensywnych w przypadku jej użycia.
-* **Spy Hard** - Pomoc dla zapominalskich :) . Po aktywacji pokazuje kolejno podgląd informacji o kolejnych przeciwnikach. Lewo/Prawo - zmienia "szpiegowany" czołg. Fire/Space/Return/Esc - kończy "szpiegowanie". Jest to ostatnia broń defensywna, która nie dezaktywuje innych broni defensywnych w przypadku jej użycia.
-
-W związku z odmiennym działaniem broni **MIRV**, bronie defensywne **Bouncy Castle** i **Mag Deflector** wykorzystują tylko funkcję osłony przy trafieniu tą bronią. Dodatkowo głowice **MIRV** w czasie opadania nie odbijają się i nie przelatują przez ściany boczne!
-
-Żadna z osłon nie chroni przed **Napalm**. **Bouncy Castle** czy **Mag Deflector** przy bezpośrednim trafieniu odbije je lub przeniesie obok, ale wystarczy trafić bardzo blisko czołgu i nie zadziała jego osłona.
-
-Bronie **White Flag**, **Hovercraft** i **Nuclear Winter** po aktywacji wymagają uruchomienia, jest to realizowanie przez "oddanie strzału" po aktywacji tej broni. Oczywiście strzał bronią ofensywną nie jest wtedy oddawany, a jedynie uruchamiana jest wybrana broń defensywna.
-
-Można mieć aktywną tylko jedną broń defensywną w danej chwili (za wyjątkiem **Long Schlong** oczywiście :) ). Zawsze przed oddaniem strzału możemy zmienić decyzję i aktywować inną broni defensywną czy też dezaktywować **White Flag**.
-Oczywiście aktywacja broni w momencie kiedy mamy już aktywowaną jakąś inną powoduje utratę tej poprzedniej (nie ma zwrotów :) ).
-
-
-## 7. Bronie 'inne' :) :
-
-* **Best F...g Gifts** - tej 'broni' nie używa śię w rozgrywce. Jej zakup powoduje wylosowanie jednej z broni ofensywnych lub (rzadziej) defensywnych i dodanie jej do arsenału gracza. Jest to loteria w której można stracić (jeśli wylosuje się broń tańsza niż cena **Best F...g Gifts** ale też zyskać. Jeśli wylosuje się broń dużo droższa możemy otrzymać do dyspozycji broń, na którą nie było nas stać! Istnieje niewielkie prawdopodobieństwo wylosowania przez **Best F...g Gifts** samej siebie :). Można wtedy spróbować użyć jej w walce.
-
-## 8. Poziomy trudności przeciwników sterowanych przez komputer:
-
-Gra posiada 8 poziomów trudności przeciwników sterowanych przez komputer. A właściwie 7 różnych i jeden "niespodziankę". Każdy z nich ma swój sposób kupowania broni defensywnych i ofensywnych oraz inną metodę wyboru celu i samego celowania, oraz wyboru broni. Ułożone są one na liście według wzrastających "umiejętności":
-
-* **Moron** - najgłupszy z przeciwników (co nie znaczy że najbezpieczniejszy). Strzela całkowicie przypadkowo używając wyłącznie jednej broni - **Baby Missile**. Nie kupuje nic, nie umie stosować broni defensywnych.
-
-* **Shooter** - Ten przeciwnik nie strzela na oślep. Wybiera sobie jeden kierunek. Na podstawie własnej pozycji - strzela w stronę z której jest więcej przestrzeni zakładając, że to tam są inne czołgi. Ostrzeliwanie zaczyna od wysokiego kąta i strzał po strzale zmienia ten kąt na coraz niższy starając się ostrzelać cały obszar po wybranej stronie. Strzał oddaje zawsze najlepszą posiadaną bronią (najwyższą na liście posiadanych broni - czyli nie koniecznie najlepszą). Nie używa broni defensywnych mimo, że je kupuje! Na początku rundy podejmuje 1 próbę zakupu broni defensywnych (tylko z zakresu **Battery** - **Strong Parachute**) i 4 ofensywnych (z zakresu **Missile** - **Heavy Roller**).
-
-* **Poolshark** - Atakując wyznacza sobie za cel najbliższy czołg, następnie dobiera kąt strzału, a jego siłę stara się dobrać losując ją z wybranego przedziału. Strzał oddaje zawsze najlepszą posiadaną bronią. Używa broni defensywnych. Z prawdopodobieństwem 1:3 aktywuje przed oddaniem strzału najlepszą posiadaną broń defensywną (najwyższą na liście posiadanych broni - czyli nie koniecznie najlepszą). Jeżeli poziom jego energii spadnie poniżej 30 jednostek - używa **Battery** (oczywiście jeśli wcześniej ją kupił), jeżeli energia spadnie poniżej 5 i nie ma **Battery** poddaje się - **White Flag**. Na początku rundy podejmuje 1 próbę zakupu broni defensywnych i 6 ofensywnych.
-
-* **Tosser** - Atakując działa dokładnie tak jak **Poolshark** jednak może posiadać "lepszy" zasób broni dzięki innej taktyce zakupów. Zawsze przed strzałem aktywuje najlepszą posiadaną broń defensywną. i tak jak **Poolshark** stosuje **Battery** i **White Flag**. Na początku rundy ocenia ile ma pieniędzy i w zależności od tego podejmuje (pieniądze/5100) prób zakupu broni defensywnych a następnie jeszcze raz sprawdza ile pieniędzy mu zostało i podejmuje (pieniądze/1250) prób zakupu broni ofensywnych.
-
-* **Chooser** - Obiera sobie za cel najsłabszego przeciwnika (o najmniejszym zasobie energii) i celuje bardzo dokładnie, jednak przed samym strzałem energia strzału modyfikowana jest o parametr szczęścia :) , czyli mimo precyzyjnego wycelowania nie zawsze trafia. Strzał oddaje najlepszą posiadaną bronią chyba że cel jest blisko. Wtedy zmienia broń na **Baby Missile** by unikać trafienia samego siebie. Zawsze przed strzałem aktywuje najlepszą posiadaną broń defensywną i tak jak **Poolshark** stosuje **Battery** i **White Flag**. Zakupów dokonuje tak samo jak **Tosser**.
-
-* **Spoiler** - Strzela dokładnie tak jak **Chooser** tyle, że ma więcej szczęścia :) , co oznacza że nawet jeśli nie trafi w wybrany cel, to może być to strzał precyzyjniejszy niż **Chooser**. Broni defensywnych używa dokładnie tak jak **Chooser**. Na początku rundy ocenia ile ma pieniędzy i w zależności od tego podejmuje (pieniądze/5100) prób zakupu broni defensywnych a następnie jeszcze raz sprawdza ile pieniędzy mu zostało i podejmuje (pieniądze/320) prób zakupu broni ofensywnych. Przy zakupie broni defensywnych kupuje tylko bronie silne i precyzyjne - czyli takie, które nie zrobią mu przypadkiem krzywdy.
-
-* **Cyborg** - Obiera sobie za cel najsłabszego przeciwnika (o najmniejszym zasobie energii) lecz preferuje przeciwników sterowanych przez człowieka. Celuje bardzo dokładnie i w zdecydowanej większości przypadków trafia za pierwszym strzałem. Strzał oddaje najlepszą posiadaną bronią chyba że cel jest blisko. Wtedy zmienia broń na **Baby Missile** by unikać trafienia samego siebie. Broni defensywnych używa dokładnie tak jak **Chooser**. Zakupy robi dokładnie tak jak **Spoiler**
-
-* **Unknown** - Przed oddaniem każdego strzału losowo wybiera sposób działania od **Poolsharka** do **Cyborga** i stosuje jego taktykę. Taktyka zakupów broni jest jednak zawsze identyczna jak  **Tosser**
-
-Próba zakupu broni (ofensywnej lub defensywnej) wygląda następująco:
-Na początku losowana jest jedna z broni (wśród wszystkich możliwych ofensywnych lub defensywnych). Następnie wykonywane jest sprawdzenie czy wylosowana broń jest na liście broni możliwych do zakupu przez czołg. Jeśli nie to w tej próbie żadna broń nie jest kupowana, a jeśli tak, to sprawdzana jest jej cena. Jeśli czołg ma tyle pieniędzy, broń jest kupowana, w przeciwnym wypadku próba kończy się bez dokonania zakupu.

+# Podstawowa instrukcja:
+
+Grać można przy użyciu klawiatury (wszystkie funkcjonalności) lub joysticka w dowolnym porcie (wszystkie funkcjonalności niezbędne w rozgrywce).
+
+
+## 1. Wybór opcji gry.
+![Ekran wyboru opcji gry.](images/MainMenu.png)
+Na pierwszym ekranie możemy skonfigurować opcje rozgrywki:
+
+* **Players** - liczba graczy (2 - 6) obejmuje tak ludzi, jak graczy sterowanych przez komputer
+
+* **Cash** - początkową ilość gotówki każdego z graczy (8k to wybrana przez nas wartość optymalna, lecz przy krótkich rozgrywkach warto wybrać większą wartość)
+
+* **Gravity** - siła grtawitacji 
+
+* **Wind** - maksymalna siła wiatru w skali Beauforta (wiatr jest losowany na początku każdej z rund lub w czasie rundy pomiędzy turami, tu możemy wybrać jak silny może być):
+    * 1B - maksymalna siła wiatru: 5
+    * 3B - maksymalna siła wiatru: 20
+    * 5B - maksymalna siła wiatru: 40
+    * 7B - maksymalna siła wiatru: 70
+    * 9B - maksymalna siła wiatru: 99
+
+* **Rounds** - liczba rozgrywanych rund
+
+* **Missiles** - szybkość lotu pocisków (nie ma wpływu na tor lotu - zmienia jedynie widoczną prędkość rysowania - nie zmienia nic w samej rozgrywce)
+
+* **Seppuku** - częstotliwość samobójstw :) - jeśli przez ileś tur gra nie odnotowała trafień (czołgi ciągle strzelają niecelnie) jeden z takich pudłujących czołgów popełnia samobójstwo - tu określamy jak długo mogą "strzelać w próżnię" :) - jeśli grają tylko ludzie, optymalne ustawienie to "norm", a w przypadku graczy sterowanych przez komputer... wedle uznania.
+
+* **Mountain** - wysokość (i pofałdowanie) gór od prawie płaskich (NL - Królestwo Niderlandów), do strzelistych i wysokich (NP - Federalna Demokratyczna Republika Nepalu)
+
+* **Walls** - sposób działania ścian (krawędzi ekranu):
+    * **none** - pociski, które wyleciały poza ekran nie wracają (czarny kolor ramki ekranu)
+    * **wrap** - ekran "zawija się" i pociski, które wyleciały w prawo pojawiają się z lewej strony i odwrotnie (fioletowy kolor ramki ekranu)
+    * **bump** - prawa i lewa ściana odbijają pociski, które chcą przez nie przelecieć (granatowy kolor ramki ekranu)
+    * **boxy** - tak jak bump, tyle że "sufit" także odbija pociski (zielony kolor ramki ekranu)
+    * **rand** - na początku każdej rundy losowany jest jeden z 4 powyższych sposobów działania ścian
+    
+    W trakcie rozgrywki aktualny sposób działania ścian reprezentowany jest przez kolor ramki ekranu: none - czarny, wrap - fioletowy, bump - granatowy, boxy - zielony.
+
+Wybór opcji klawiszami kursora lub joystickiem.
+
+Klawisz **TAB**, **SELECT**, dłuższe przytrzymanie pierwszego przycisku joysticka lub drugi przycisk joysticka (wspierany standard Joy 2B+ lub zgodny) zmieniają kolor gór (3 wersje do wyboru).  
+
+Jeśli kursor wskazuje opcję wyboru siły wiatru **Wind**, wciśnięcie **TAB** zmienia sposób losowania siły wiatru z "co rundę" na "co turę" i odwrotnie. Losowanie co turę jest sygnalizowane znakiem "?" przy słowie **Wind**.  
+
+Jeśli kursor wskazuje opcję wyboru siły ciążenia **Gravity**, **TAB** zmienia procedurę opadania ziemi na mniej efektowną, ale szybszą i odwrotnie. Wybranie szybkiego opadania ziemi sygnalizowane jest literą "f" przy słowie **Gravity**.
+
+Jeśli kursor wskazuje opcję wyboru wysokości gór **Mountain**, **TAB** przełącza opcję zmiennej co rundę wysokości gór. Losowanie co rundę jest sygnalizowane znakiem "?" przy słowie **Mountain**.  
+
+Klawisz **RETURN** lub przycisk joysticka przechodzi do następnego ekranu.
+
+
+## 2. Gracze i poziom przeciwników.
+![Ekran wyboru graczy i poziomu trudności.](images/DiffMenu.png)
+Wprowadzanie nazw graczy i wybór poziomu graczy sterowanych przez komputer.
+
+Drugi ekran powtarza się dla każdego z graczy, można na nim klawiszami kursora lub joystickiem wybrać czy danym czołgiem będzie kierował człowiek (opcja HUMAN), czy też komputer (pozostałe opcje).  
+
+Klawisz **TAB**, **SELECT** lub drugi przycisk joysticka pozwalają wybrać z którego portu joysticka będzie korzystał gracz.  
+
+Klawisz **INVERSE** lub **OPTION** umożliwiają wybór jednego z 3 dostępnych kształtów czołgów.
+
+Jednocześnie z klawiatury można wprowadzić nazwę wybranego gracza.  
+
+Po naciśnięciu klawisza **RETURN** lub krótkim naciśnięciu przycisku joysticka ekran przechodzi na następnego gracza aż zostaną wybrane poziomy trudności dla wszystkich.
+
+Nazwę gracza można wprowadzać także przy pomocy joysticka. Po wciśnięciu i przytrzymaniu przycisku ponad 1s. za pomocą ruchów góra/dół można zmienić wprowadzaną literę, a lewo/prawo jej pozycję w nazwie. Puszczenie przycisku kończy wprowadzanie nazwy i wraca do wyboru poziomu.
+
+Jeśli nazwa nie zostanie wpisana, to zostanie uzupełniona nazwą domyślną.
+
+
+## 3. Ekran zakupów (przed każdą rundą).
+![Ekran zakupów broni ofensywnych.](images/PurOffensive.png)
+![Ekran zakupów broni defensywnych.](images/PurDefensive.png)
+Na tym ekranie można dokonywać zakupów broni ofensywnych i defensywnych. Widoczne są tylko te bronie, na które gracza stać wraz z informacją o cenie i ilości jednostek danej broni, którą za tę cenę otrzymamy. Informacje na ekranie nie wymagają chyba więcej opisu. Po listach poruszamy się klawiszami kursora (góra i dół) lub joystickiem, klawisz **TAB** lub strzałka w lewo, czy też ruch joystickiem w lewo lub drugi przycisk joysticka zmieniają ekran na bronie defensywne lub ofensywne, klawisz **SPACJA** , strzałka w prawo, dłuższe przytrzymanie przycisku joysticka, a także joystick w prawo realizują zakup wskazanej broni.
+
+Klawisz **RETURN** lub przycisk joysticka przechodzi do ekranu aktywacji broni defensywnych.
+
+![Ekran aktywacji broni defensywnych.](images/ActDefensive.png)
+Na ekranie tym można aktywować zakupione wcześniej bronie defensywne czy też ofensywne. Obsługiwany jest identycznie jak ekran zakupów, jednak **SPACJA** lub strzałka w prawo, a także joystick w prawo realizują aktywacje wskazanej broni. Umożliwia to aktywowanie osłon jeszcze przed rozpoczęciem rundy.
+
+Klawisz **RETURN** lub przycisk joysticka przechodzi do ekranu zakupów następnego gracza.
+(oczywiście dla graczy komputerowych ten ekran się nie pojawia)
+
+
+## 4. Główny ekran gry.
+![Główny ekran gry.](images/StatusLine.png)
+W linii statusowej widoczna jest informacja o tym, który z graczy aktualnie może oddać strzał oraz zestaw innych informacji:
+
+* **Player** - nazwa czołgu gracza
+
+* numer aktywnego joysticka lub poziom gracza sterowanego przez komputer (1-**Moron** - 8-**Unknown**),
+
+* wybrana aktualnie broń ofensywna (symbol - ilość - nazwa),
+
+* **Energy** - pozostała ilość punktów energii gracza i jeśli ma on aktywną broń defensywną posiadającą swój zasób energii - w nawiasie ten zasób
+
+* **Angle** - ustawiony przez gracza kąt nachylenia lufy i kierunek jej nachylenia
+
+* **Force** - ustawiona przez gracza siła strzału (maksymalna siła strzału jest ograniczana przez energię gracza - nie może przekroczyć energii * 10 . Oznacza to, że mając małą ilość energii możemy oddać słabsze strzały
+
+* **Round** - numer aktualnej rundy rozgrywki
+
+* **Wind** - prędkość i kierunek wiatru
+
+* symbol "komputera" jeśli aktywna jest **Auto Defense**
+
+* w nawiasie nazwa aktywnej broni defensywnej - jeśli jest jakaś aktywowana przez gracza
+
+Tutaj klawiszologia jest prosta, klawisze kursora lub joystick: lewo/prawo - zmiana kąta nachylenia lufy, góra/dół - zmiana ustawienia siły strzału.

+
+* **strzał**, przycisk joysticka naciśnięte krótko - oddanie strzału
+
+* **zmiana broni**, drugi przycisk joysticka - wybór broni ofensywnej (ta opcja nie jest dostępna bezpośrednio standardowym joystickiem - trzeba wybrać Inventory).
+
+* **inwentarz**, dłuższe przytrzymanie przycisku joysticka - przejście do Inventory (aktywacji broni). Inventory to ekran (a w zasadzie dwa) bliźniaczo podobny do ekranu zakupów. Zasady poruszania się są identyczne - z tym, że tu nie kupujemy broni, ale wybieramy jedną z ofensywnych, którą będziemy strzelać lub aktywujemy broń defensywną.
+
+* **defensywa** - bezpośrednie przejście na ekran Inventory aktywacji broni defensywnych.
+
+* **tryb turbo** - przyspiesza/pomija niektóre animacje w grze
+
+* **koniec gry** - wymuszenie zakończenia gry (Game Over). W podsumowaniu wyników nie jest brana pod uwagę przerwana właśnie runda rozgrywki, a wyłącznie rundy zakończone wcześniej. Odpowiada to wciśnięciu klawisza **ESC** z tą różnicą, że wyświetlane jest podsumowanie oraz creditsy.
+
+* **bezw. koniec** - natychmiastowe wymuszenie zakończenia gry (Game Over), tak jak **O**, ale bez potwierdzenia.
+
+* **inne kolory** - zmienia wariant kolorystyczny gór (3 wersje do wyboru)
+
+* **powrót** - w czasie całej gry w dowolnym momencie (chyba że akurat gra komputer, wtedy czasem trzeba chwilę poczekać) można nacisnąć klawisz **ESC**, który umożliwia przerwanie gry i powrót na początek (oczywiście jest zabezpieczenie przed przypadkowym naciśnięciem).
+
+* **zatwierdzam** - w przypadku pytania o przerwanie lub zakończenie gry - potwierdzenie decyzji
+
+* **visual debug** - przełącza tryb "visual debug". Wizualizuje mierzone odległości, celowanie lasera oraz technikę celowania komputera. Pozostawia bałagan na ekranie, co nie zmienia rozgrywki, tylko ją nieco utrudnia.
+
+
+## 5. Zasady gry - bronie ofensywne.
+
+Duże punkty otrzymane przez gracza to liczba czołgów, które zginęły wcześniej niż on. Jeśli któryś z innych czołgów skapitulował wcześniej (**White Flag**) nie jest doliczany do tych, które zginęły, i nie daje punktów.
+
+Tylko te punkty decydują o kolejności w podsumowaniu.
+
+
+### Energia czołgów.
+* Na początku każdej rundy każdy czołg ma 99 jednostek energii.
+
+* Energii czołgom ubywa na 3 sposoby: 
+    * jedna jednostka po oddaniu każdego strzału
+    * w czasie spadania (jeden piksel w dół -2 jednostki)
+    * w chwili trafienia w czołg lub obok niego jakiegoś pocisku - i tu ilość odejmowanej energii zależy od odległości od centrum eksplozji i typu/siły rażenia pocisku.
+
+
+### Energia i kasa
+Jak działa odejmowanie energii i zarabianie kasy:
+Po każdej rundzie wyliczana jest ilość zdobytych/straconych pieniędzy, robione jest to na podstawie dwóch zmiennych gromadzonych przez każdy z czołgów w trakcie rundy. Te zmienne to:
+
+**gain** - energia "przechwycona" od trafionych czołgów (także jeśli trafimy w samego siebie :) i tu haczyk, jeśli pozostało nam bardzo mało energii opłacalne może być trafienie w siebie mocną bronią!
+
+**lose** - energia stracona w wyniku eksplozji/upadku (i tu ważne - liczona jest całkowita utrata energii nawet jeśli czołg ma w chwili trafienia mniej).
+
+Dodatkowo czołg, który wygrał rundę, ma parametr gain (przechwyconej od trafionych czołgów energii) zwiększany o pozostałą mu na koniec rundy energię (bo nie zginął i powinien ją mieć - choć bywa też inaczej :) )
+
+Konkretnie:
+
+### Po każdej rundzie:
+**money = money + (20 * (gain+energy))**
+
+**money = money - (10 * lose)**
+
+**jeśli money < 0 to money = 0**
+
+(na starcie każdej rundy **gain** i **lose** mają wartość 0)
+
+W czasie rundy, jeśli w wyniku strzału oddanego przez czołg inny czołg zostanie trafiony, czołg oddający strzał "dostaje energię" zabraną czołgowi trafionemu.
+
+### czołg oddający strzał:
+**gain = gain + EnergyDecrease**
+
+### czołg trafiony:
+**lose = lose + EnergyDecrease**
+
+gdzie **EnergyDecrease** to utrata energii w wyniku trafienia.
+
+Oczywiście jednocześnie trafiony czołg traci ilość energii zapisaną w **EnergyDecrease**, z tym że tutaj strata nie może przekroczyć posiadanej energii.
+
+## Jak działa trafienie.
+
+Każda broń, która skutkuje eksplozją, ma swój promień rażenia.
+
+Po eksplozji każdy czołg w jej zasięgu traci energię.
+
+Działa to tak, że jeśli trafienie jest dokładnie w centralny punkt czołgu, **EnergyDecrease** otrzymuje maksymalną wartość dla danej broni, a z każdym pikselem odległości od centrum czołgu wartość ta jest zmniejszana o 8.
+
+Przykładowo: jeśli strzał oddany za pomocą broni **Baby Missile** trafi idealnie w centrum czołgu, to straci on dokładnie 88 jednostek energii (plus to, co straci spadając po eksplozji).
+W przypadku trafienia tą samą bronią w odległości 10-ciu pikseli od centrum czołgu strata ta będzie wynosiła już tyko 8 jednostek.
+
+A oto wartości maksymalnego ubytku energii dla poszczególnych broni. Jeśli broń eksploduje kilka razy, każda z eksplozji jest obliczana niezależnie (dodatkowe wartości w tabeli):
+
+| Broń ofensywna  | Max ubytku   |
+|-----------------|--------------|
+| Baby Missile    | 88           |
+| Missile         | 136          |
+| Baby Nuke       | 200          |
+| Nuke            | 240          |
+| LeapFrog        | 136 112 112  |
+| Funky Bomb      | 168 88 (*5)  |
+| MIRV            | 136 (*5)     |
+| Death's Head    | 240 (*5)     |
+| Napalm          | 40   (zob. ↓)|
+| Hot Napalm      | 80        (↓)|
+| Baby Roller     | 88           |
+| Roller          | 168          |
+| Heavy Roller    | 240          |
+| Riot Charge     | 0         (↓)|
+| Riot Blast      | 0         (↓)|
+| Riot Bomb       | 0         (↓)|
+| Heavy Riot Bomb | 0         (↓)|
+| Digger          | 0         (↓)|
+| Heavy Digger    | 0         (↓)|
+| Sandhog         | 0         (↓)|
+| Heavy Sandhog   | 0         (↓)|
+| Dirt Clod       | 0         (↓)|
+| Dirt Ball       | 0         (↓)|
+| Ton of Dirt     | 0         (↓)|
+| Liquid Dirt     | 0         (↓)|
+| Dirt Charge     | 0         (↓)|
+| Propaganda      | 0         (↓)|
+| Stomp           | 0         (↓)|
+| Laser           | 100       (↓)|
+
+Uwagi:
+* **Napalm** - ta broń jest inna i nie jest wyznaczana odległość od centrum, po prostu każdy czołg znajdujący się w zasięgu płomieni traci 40 jednostek energii.
+
+* **Hot Napalm** - zasada taka jak w Napalm, 80 jednostek.
+
+* **Riot Charge** - nie jest odejmowana energia, ale usuwana jest część gruntu w górę od punktu trafienia w promieniu 31 pikseli.
+
+* **Riot Blast** - jak w Riot Charge, tyle że w promieniu 61 pikseli.
+
+* **Riot Bomb** - nie jest odejmowana energia, ale niszczony jest grunt w promieniu 17 pikseli od punktu trafienia - tak jak w wypadku **Missile**. Broń przydatna do odkopywania się po zasypaniu, bądź podkopywania przeciwnika.
+
+* **Heavy Riot Bomb** - jak w Riot Bomb, ale promień eksplozji to 29 pikseli od punktu trafienia - tak jak w wypadku **Nuke**.
+
+* **Digger** - nie jest odejmowana energia, ale podkopywana jest część gruntu promieniu 60 pikseli od punktu trafienia.
+
+* **Heavy Digger** - jak wyżej - większy podkop.
+
+* **Sandhog** - jak wyżej - inny sposób podkopywania.
+
+* **Heavy Sandhog** - jak wyżej - największy podkop.
+
+* **Dirt Clod** - nie jest odejmowana energia, ale tworzona jest kula gruntu o promieniu 12 pikseli od punktu trafienia. Broń przydatna do zakopywania przeciwnika.
+
+* **Dirt Ball** - jak wyżej, ale promień kuli to 22 piksele.
+
+* **Ton of Dirt** - jak wyżej, ale promień kuli to 31 pikseli.
+
+* **Liquid Dirt** - zalewa grunt w punkcie trafienia płynną glebą, wypełniając zagłębienia.
+
+* **Dirt Charge** - nie jest odejmowana energia, ale usypywany jest dodatkowy grunt w górę od punktu trafienia w promieniu 61 pikseli. Broń przydatna do zakopywania przeciwnika.
+
+* **Propaganda** - nie jest odejmowana energia, miejsce trafienia zostaje zasypane propagandowymi tekstami.
+
+* **Stomp** - nie jest odejmowana energia, ale wszystkie czołgi w promieniu zależnym od siły strzału zostają odepchnięte, a po odepchnięciu mogą spaść lub zostać zasypane. Przy maksymalnej sile 990 jednostek promień działania to około 60 pikseli.
+
+* **Laser** - tu także jest inaczej - równo 100 tylko w przypadku bezpośredniego trafienia po prostu odejmujemy 100 jednostek energii - czyli czołg zawsze ginie.
+
+
+## 6. A teraz bronie defensywne:
+
+* **White Flag** - powoduje poddanie gracza (może czasem przydać się w sytuacji beznadziejnej). Zaletą jest to, że poddając się nie dajemy dużego punktu przeciwnikom i nie powodujemy, że któryś zyska na tym, że nas zgładzi, ograniczamy też stratę swojej energii, czyli także kasy. I tu także ważna uwaga - to jedyna broń defensywna, którą można dezaktywować. Wystarczy ponownie wejść do inventory i jeszcze raz wybrać jej aktywację.
+
+* **Battery** - w momencie aktywacji doładowuje energię czołgu do pełna (99 jednostek). Jest to jedna z trzech broni defensywnych, która nie dezaktywuje innych broni defensywnych w przypadku jej użycia.
+
+* **Hovercraft** - broń umożliwiająca przemieszczanie się czołgu. Posiada własny zasób paliwa, a dodatkowo może być aktywowana wielokrotnie w czasie tej samej tury, a po jej użyciu możemy w tej samej turze aktywować inną broń defensywną i oddać strzał. W wyniku jej użycia czołg uniesie się ponad góry i za pomocą klawiszy kursora lub joysticka: lewo/prawo możemy przemieścić czołg na nową pozycję, a **SPACJA** lub przycisk joysticka powodują wylądowanie czołgu w nowym miejscu. Latać można do chwili skończenia się "paliwa" (prezentowanego na pasku statusu tak jak energia broni defensywnej), a gdy paliwo się skończy, czołg opadnie samodzielnie. Nie da się lądować na innych czołgach.
+
+* **Parachute** - nie chroni przed ubytkiem energii z powodu sąsiedniej eksplozji, powoduje że nie ubywa energii w czasie JEDNEGO spadania. Po takim upadku dezaktywuje się i trzeba aktywować nowy spadochron.
+
+* **Strong Parachute** - spadochron z własną energią (na starcie 99 jednostek), działa tak samo jak Parachute (nie chroni przed eksplozjami), ma za to swój własny zasób energii, przy spadaniu w pierwszej kolejności zmniejszana jest energia tego spadochronu (1 jednostka na jeden piksel opadania - inaczej niż czołg!) i jeśli dojdzie ona do 0, to spadochron dezaktywuje się i dalej zmniejszana jest energia czołgu (tutaj już standardowo - 2 jednostki na jeden piksel).
+
+* **Shield** - najprostsza osłona, działa dokładnie przeciwnie niż Parachute, nie chroni przed ubytkiem energii w czasie spadania, chroni za to przed ubytkiem energii spowodowanym JEDNĄ sąsiednią eksplozją. Chroni jednorazowo, bez znaczenia jak silna jest eksplozja (czy jest to tylko "draśnięcie", czy też bezpośrednie trafienie atomówką) i od razu po niej dezaktywuje się.
+
+* **Heavy Shield** - osłona z własną energią (na starcie 99 jednostek), działa tak samo jak Shield (nie chroni przed upadkiem) z tym wyjątkiem, że ma własny zasób energii. Przy eksplozji w pierwszej kolejności zmniejszana jest energia tej osłony i jeśli dojdzie ona do 0, to osłona dezaktywuje się i dalej zmniejszana jest energia czołgu. W związku z takim działaniem, czołg z tym typem osłony można "zabić" podkopując go, bo spadanie zmniejsza energię czołgu a nie osłony.
+
+* **Force Shield** - najmocniejsza osłona - działa tak jak Heavy Shield, tyle że połączona z Parachute. Co ważne, w jej przypadku upadek nie zabiera energii osłonie ani czołgowi. Zabierają ją tylko trafienia.
+
+* **Bouncy Castle** - broń agresywna :) Działa następująco: w przypadku bezpośredniego trafienia w czołg (i osłonę) powoduje "odbicie" pocisku w przeciwnym kierunku z taką samą siłą, z jaką był wystrzelony. W przypadku braku wiatru i różnicy poziomów broń trafia wtedy w czołg, który ją wystrzelił. Po takim odbiciu dezaktywuje się. W związku z tym, że broń ta reaguje w ten sposób tylko na precyzyjne trafienia, jest także osłoną odpowiadającą działaniu Heavy Shield i ma na starcie 99 jednostek.
+
+* **Mag Deflector** - druga broń agresywna :) W przypadku bezpośredniego trafienia w czołg (i osłonę) powoduje przesunięcie punktu trafienia losowo w lewo lub prawą stronę chronionego czołgu, ale niezbyt daleko, więc można dostać "odłamkiem" przy silniejszej broni. Tak jak w przypadku Bouncy Castle jest także osłoną odpowiadającą działaniu Heavy Shield i ma na starcie 99 jednostek.
+
+* **Nuclear Winter** - nic nie dodaje, nic nie zabiera :) - w zasadzie to broń nie tyle defensywna, co obosieczna. Zasypuje teren opadem "radioaktywnym", który jest zwyczajną glebą. Jeśli nie mamy pod ręką żadnej broni odkopującej teren i do tego osłony (najlepiej jednorazowej), to po takim "opadzie" będzie trzeba strzelić do siebie - bo będąc pod ziemią inaczej się nie da. Ewentualnie pozostaje zawsze White Flag.
+
+* **Long Schlong** - broń specjalna :) - kosztuje dużo, nie bardzo w czymkolwiek pomaga (poza ewentualnym odkopaniem się - tylko przy niewielkim przysypaniu - ale fajnie się nazywa i wygląda :) - Można ją aktywować niezależnie od innych broni defensywnych i pozostaje aktywna do końca rundy (nie da się jej dezaktywować). Broń ta działa deprymująco na przeciwników sterowanych przez komputer na poziomie **Poolshark** i wyższych.
+
+* **Lazy Boy** - nie jest to właściwie broń defensywna. Jest to wspomaganie celowania. Po jej aktywacji czołg stara się wycelować w najbliższego przeciwnika i automatycznie ustawia siłę strzału oraz kąt. W przypadku posiadania zbyt małej ilości energii może czasem wycelować źle (do celowania stosuje metodę taką jak **Cyborg**). Tak jak **Battery** nie dezaktywuje innych broni defensywnych w przypadku jej użycia. Uwaga! Nie ma sensu aktywacja tej broni przed rundą, celowanie nie odbędzie się, bo nie ma jeszcze do czego celować.
+
+* **Lazy Darwin** - działa tak jak **Lazy Boy**, ale celuje w najsłabszego przeciwnika. W tej broni po automatycznym celowaniu pozostaje aktywne "celowanie wizualne" można więc łątwo zmienić cel i samodzielnie wybrać innego przeciwnika widząc czy w niego trafimy.
+
+* **Auto Defense** - włącza tryb automatycznej aktywacji broni defensywnych. Po jej aktywowaniu czołg automatycznie aktywuje najmocniejszą posiadaną osłonę (zużywając ją oczywiście) w każdej chwili, kiedy nie ma żadnej osłony (także pomiędzy strzałami innych graczy). Jednocześnie jeżeli poziom energii czołgu spadnie poniżej 30 jednostek, automatycznie aktywuje **Battery** jeżeli ją posiada. Ta broń pozostaje aktywna do końca rundy i jest sygnalizowana symbolem "komputera" przed nazwą aktywnej broni defensywnej w linii statusowej. Jest to druga broń defensywna, która nie dezaktywuje innych broni defensywnych w przypadku jej użycia.
+
+* **Spy Hard** - Pomoc dla zapominalskich :) Po aktywacji pokazuje kolejno podgląd informacji o kolejnych przeciwnikach. Lewo/Prawo - zmienia "szpiegowany" czołg. Fire/Space/Return/Esc - kończy "szpiegowanie". Jest to ostatnia broń defensywna, która nie dezaktywuje innych broni defensywnych w przypadku jej użycia.
+
+W związku z odmiennym działaniem broni **MIRV**, bronie defensywne **Bouncy Castle** i **Mag Deflector** wykorzystują tylko funkcję osłony przy trafieniu tą bronią. Dodatkowo głowice **MIRV** w czasie opadania nie odbijają się i nie przelatują przez ściany boczne!
+
+Żadna z osłon nie chroni przed **Napalm**. **Bouncy Castle** czy **Mag Deflector**, przy bezpośrednim trafieniu odbije je lub przeniesie obok, ale wystarczy trafić bardzo blisko czołgu i nie zadziała jego osłona.
+
+Bronie **White Flag**, **Hovercraft** i **Nuclear Winter** po aktywacji wymagają uruchomienia, jest to realizowanie przez "oddanie strzału" po aktywacji tej broni. Oczywiście strzał bronią ofensywną nie jest wtedy oddawany, a jedynie uruchamiana jest wybrana broń defensywna.
+
+Można mieć aktywną tylko jedną broń defensywną w danej chwili (za wyjątkiem **Long Schlong** oczywiście :) ). Zawsze przed oddaniem strzału możemy zmienić decyzję i aktywować inną broń defensywną czy też dezaktywować **White Flag**.
+
+Oczywiście aktywacja broni w momencie, kiedy mamy już aktywowaną jakąś inną, powoduje utratę tej poprzedniej (nie ma zwrotów :) ).
+
+
+## 7. Bronie 'inne' :) :
+
+* **Best F...g Gifts** - tej 'broni' nie używa się w rozgrywce. Jej zakup powoduje wylosowanie jednej z broni ofensywnych lub (rzadziej) defensywnych i dodanie jej do arsenału gracza. Jest to loteria, w której można stracić (jeśli wylosuje się broń tańsza niż cena **Best F...g Gifts**), ale też zyskać. Jeśli wylosuje się broń dużo droższa, możemy otrzymać do dyspozycji broń, na którą nie było nas stać! Istnieje niewielkie prawdopodobieństwo wylosowania przez **Best F...g Gifts** samej siebie :). Można wtedy spróbować użyć jej w walce.
+
+
+## 8. Siła przeciwników AI:
+
+Gra posiada 8 poziomów trudności przeciwników sterowanych przez komputer. A właściwie 7 różnych i jeden "niespodziankę". Każdy z nich ma swój sposób kupowania broni defensywnych i ofensywnych oraz inną metodę wyboru celu i samego celowania oraz wyboru broni. Ułożone są one na liście według wzrastających "umiejętności":
+
+* **Moron** - najgłupszy z przeciwników (co nie znaczy, że najbezpieczniejszy). Strzela całkowicie przypadkowo używając wyłącznie jednej broni - **Baby Missile**. Nie kupuje nic, nie umie stosować broni defensywnych.
+
+* **Shooter** - Ten przeciwnik nie strzela na oślep. Wybiera sobie jeden kierunek. Na podstawie własnej pozycji - strzela w stronę, z której jest więcej przestrzeni zakładając, że to tam są inne czołgi. Ostrzeliwanie zaczyna od wysokiego kąta i strzał po strzale zmienia ten kąt na coraz niższy starając się ostrzelać cały obszar po wybranej stronie. Strzał oddaje zawsze najlepszą posiadaną bronią (najwyższą na liście posiadanych broni - czyli niekoniecznie najlepszą). Nie używa broni defensywnych mimo, że je kupuje! Na początku rundy podejmuje 1 próbę zakupu broni defensywnych (tylko z zakresu **Battery** - **Strong Parachute**) i 4 ofensywnych (z zakresu **Missile** - **Heavy Roller**).
+
+* **Poolshark** - Atakując wyznacza sobie za cel najbliższy czołg, następnie dobiera kąt strzału, a jego siłę stara się dobrać losując ją z wybranego przedziału. Strzał oddaje zawsze najlepszą posiadaną bronią. Używa broni defensywnych. Z prawdopodobieństwem 1:3 aktywuje przed oddaniem strzału najlepszą posiadaną broń defensywną (najwyższą na liście posiadanych broni - czyli niekoniecznie najlepszą). Jeżeli poziom jego energii spadnie poniżej 30 jednostek - używa **Battery** (oczywiście jeśli wcześniej ją kupił), a jeżeli energia spadnie poniżej 5 i nie ma **Battery**, poddaje się - **White Flag**. Na początku rundy podejmuje 1 próbę zakupu broni defensywnych i 6 ofensywnych.
+
+* **Tosser** - Atakując działa dokładnie tak jak **Poolshark**, jednak może posiadać "lepszy" zasób broni dzięki innej taktyce zakupów. Zawsze przed strzałem aktywuje najlepszą posiadaną broń defensywną. i tak jak **Poolshark** stosuje **Battery** i **White Flag**. Na początku rundy ocenia ile ma pieniędzy i w zależności od tego podejmuje (pieniądze/5100) prób zakupu broni defensywnych, a następnie jeszcze raz sprawdza ile pieniędzy mu zostało i podejmuje (pieniądze/1250) prób zakupu broni ofensywnych.
+
+* **Chooser** - Obiera sobie za cel najsłabszego przeciwnika (o najmniejszym zasobie energii) i celuje bardzo dokładnie, jednak przed samym strzałem energia strzału modyfikowana jest o parametr szczęścia :) , czyli mimo precyzyjnego wycelowania nie zawsze trafia. Strzał oddaje najlepszą posiadaną bronią - chyba że cel jest blisko, wtedy zmienia broń na **Baby Missile**, by unikać trafienia samego siebie. Zawsze przed strzałem aktywuje najlepszą posiadaną broń defensywną i tak jak **Poolshark** stosuje **Battery** i **White Flag**. Zakupów dokonuje tak samo jak **Tosser**.
+
+* **Spoiler** - Strzela dokładnie tak jak **Chooser**, tyle że ma więcej szczęścia :), co oznacza, że nawet jeśli nie trafi w wybrany cel, to może być to strzał precyzyjniejszy niż **Chooser**. Jeśli nie jest w stanie trafić w obrany cel, stara się wybrać inny, w który może precyzyjnie trafić. Broni defensywnych używa dokładnie tak jak **Chooser**. Na początku rundy ocenia ile ma pieniędzy i w zależności od tego podejmuje (pieniądze/5100) prób zakupu broni defensywnych, a następnie jeszcze raz sprawdza ile pieniędzy mu zostało i podejmuje (pieniądze/320) prób zakupu broni ofensywnych. Przy zakupie broni defensywnych kupuje tylko bronie silne i precyzyjne - czyli takie, które nie zrobią mu przypadkiem krzywdy.
+
+* **Cyborg** - Obiera sobie za cel najsłabszego przeciwnika (o najmniejszym zasobie energii), lecz preferuje przeciwników sterowanych przez człowieka. Jeśli nie jest w stanie trafić w obrany cel, stara się wybrać inny, w który może precyzyjnie trafić. Celuje bardzo dokładnie i w zdecydowanej większości przypadków trafia za pierwszym strzałem. Strzał oddaje najlepszą posiadaną bronią - chyba że cel jest blisko, wtedy zmienia broń na **Baby Missile**, by unikać trafienia samego siebie. Broni defensywnych używa dokładnie tak jak **Chooser**, ale jeśli ma więcej niź 2 sztuki **Battery**, stosuje je jeśli energia zmniejszy się poniższej 60 jednostek. Zakupy robi dokładnie tak jak **Spoiler**
+
+* **Unknown** - Przed oddaniem każdego strzału losowo wybiera sposób działania od **Poolsharka** do **Cyborga** i stosuje jego taktykę. Taktyka zakupów broni jest jednak zawsze identyczna jak  **Tosser**
+
+### AI idzie na zakupy
+
+Próba zakupu broni (ofensywnej lub defensywnej) wygląda następująco:
+Na początku losowana jest jedna z broni (wśród wszystkich możliwych ofensywnych lub defensywnych). Następnie wykonywane jest sprawdzenie, czy wylosowana broń jest na liście broni możliwych do zakupu przez czołg. Jeśli nie, to w tej próbie żadna broń nie jest kupowana, a jeśli tak, to sprawdzana jest jej cena. Jeśli czołg ma tyle pieniędzy, broń jest kupowana, w przeciwnym wypadku próba kończy się bez dokonania zakupu.

+
+## 9. Porady spod lady:
+
+Pamiętaj o broniach defensywnych. **Auto Defense**, **Shield** i **Lazy Darwin** odpowiednio użyte pomogą wygrać z Cyborgiem nawet przy pomocy **Baby Missile**.
+
+Droższe nie znaczy lepsze. Zwykła osłona typu **Shield** jest czasem skuteczniejsza od droższych osłon.
+
+**Napalmy** przenikają przez osłony a także przez glebę. Mimo że palą się powyżej niszczą zasypane czołgi.
+
+**Lazy Darwin** wspomaga także celowanie bronią typu **Laser**.
+
+Roboczołgi nie umieją się odkopywać. Zakopane giną od własnych strzałów.
+
+W sytuacji beznadziejnej smobójstwo może być lepsze od **White Flag**. Jeśli trafisz w siebie silną bronią zarobisz więcej pieniędzy niż stracisz (sprawdź sposób obliczania zysków i strat).
+
+**Long Schlong** potrafi znacząco onieśmielić przeciwników. Bądź alfa-czołgiem i porzuć wszelkie lęki.
+
+Roboczołgi nie mają **Autodefense**, więc defensywy aktywują tylko bezpośrednio przed swoim strzałem. Zmasowany atak kilku graczy na jednego roboczołga gwarantuje sukces.
+
+W ostateczności możesz zostać Terminatorem (model standardowy, nie T-1000 :) )
+
+Połamania luf życzą autorzy.

+Update of the official Atari 8-bit cartridge from Mq:
+- boot `scorch_fl.atr` from e.g. SIO2SD, SIO2PC or a large floppy
+- insert the cartridge
+- do what the flasher application says on the screen.
+- do not despair if something goes wrong, just reboot, the reinsert cart, etc.
+- it is smoother with QMeg OS, because there you can insert the cart, turn on your Atari, jump to the QMeg menu, and boot the `scorch_fl.atr` from there. No need to insert the cart into the running Atari.

+This is not an official cart manufacturer's (Mq) flasher, it is a collective and separate community effort. Be responsible, don't drink and flash your car(t). Better yet, do not flash it at all. In fact, to preserve the historical value of the artifact we strongly discourage from opening the game box and inserting the cartridge anywhere, especially into unauthorized orifices.

 Game source code is split into several parts:
 - `scorch.asm` is the main game startup code
+- `scorchC64.asm` is the main game startup code for the Commodore 64
 - `game.asm` - it all happens here
 - `grafproc.asm` - graphics routines like line or circle

 - `ai.asm` - artificial stupidity of computer opponents
-- `weapons.asm` - general arsenal of tankies
+- `weapons.asm` - general arsenal of tanks
 - `definitions.asm` - label definitions, moved to make it work better with Altirra debug (it doesn't).
 
+Hardware dependent code (In the corresponding folders - 'Atari', 'C64', ...):
+- `display_*.asm` - display lists and text screen definitions
+- `gr_basic.asm` - graphics primitives (plot, point, soildown, drawmountains, etc.) for faster drawing
+- `inputs.asm` - keyboard and joystick routines
+- `interrupts.asm` - interrupts routines (DLI on Atari, music and SFX, timers)
+- `textproc.asm` - text routines for menus and shop

 We were trying to use macros, pseudo-ops, and simple graphics primitives as much as possible. This way, it should be relatively easy to port this code to, for example, the C64.
 
 After working on this piece of code for N years, we are sure it would be much wiser to write it in C, Action!, or MadPascal. On the other hand, it is so much fun to type 150 characters when all you want to have is y = a * x + b. :)

 ## Changelog:
 
+###### Version 1.51
+2025-01-15
+
+We are done.
+
+1. VU meters do not activate when the music is turned off. (Previously, after a set time, the tanks would rotate their turrets to position 0, and nothing would happen because there was no music. Now, they don’t even rotate at all.)
+
+2. A slightly faster and significantly shorter circle-drawing procedure (the circles are a tiny bit less pretty 🙂).
+
+3. Plasma Blast! (only as one of the tank destruction visual effects).
+
+
+###### Version 1.50
+2024-03-15
+
+Atari 8-bit cart flasher and bug fixes!
+
+@RB5200 provided us with a very good bug report so the new version was inevitable. Additionally, we have used [cart flasher](https://github.com/jhusak/jataricart/tree/master/various_flashers/1MBscorch) from @jhusak to prepare the .atr with flasher.
+
+Fixes and changes:
+- Napalm and Hot Napalm animations were not playing.
+- Wind of force 0 and left direction was wrapping arithmetic and caused very strong left shoots.
+- Now 0 force wind has got no direction (no negative zeroes anymore!)
+- CTRL+Tab was nonfunctional for some time; returned
+- Much nicer easter egg visualization.
+
+
+###### Version 1.48
+2024-03-11
+
+New cart image, bugfixes, and easter eggs.
+
+In preparation for the festive season we have squeezed the code a bit more, fixed some buggies, and added an easter egg or two :)
+
+Most important changes:
+- Cyborgs prefer attacking human players again! Due to unforeseen circumstances, Cyborgs were a bit shy and not as vicious as planned. Fixed.
+- A new weapon "Propaganda". In the spirit of a ["Phoney War"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoney_War) instead of dropping bombs we drop a bunch of leaflets. This will show them!
+- Robotanks were making suboptimal purchase decisions. Fixed.
+- Updated binary manuals.
+- ... _redacted_
+- ... _redacted for egg season_
+- A new physical cart image - you can update carts and have even more fun now!

+###### Version 1.43
+2023-12-07
+
+Physical release version.
+We are extremely pleased to inform you that our humble game was released on physical media by [Mq](mailto:mq666xx@gmail.com) (Atari 8-bit version) and 5200 [atariage.com](https://atariage.com/store/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1305).

 The new inventory system has been added. Call it by pressing the "I" key or short-pressing fire. Select the weapon to use by moving the joystick or cursor keys right. Switch between offensive and defensive weapons by moving the joystick left. Fire/escape to quit inventory.
 
-Another significant playability change is #54 - it is not finished yet, but keeping the joystick up or down makes force increase/decrease faster. Also - short press of fire calls Inventory, long press fires the shell. The timings are experimental, please let me know if this needs a modification/improvement.
