<big whistle> Sounds pretty impressive. To bad I have an 83. I wrote a
similar game for my calc a while back, but it was only two tanks
shooting back and forth at each other. Also, you could pick between
various different weapons. Say, do you have a wind component in your
game? Makes it much more interesting - and difficult.
