Tanken 8 Tank Game – Part 3

Tanks in midair, just before they fall to meet their maker.

To try and compensate for the dirt loss, I introduced dirt creation weapons as well (once again inspired by other games of the era).

Of course that dirt has to eventually obey the laws of gravity like everything else.

One of my personal favourites, the laser cuts through everything. The Laserdude was a fairly easy intelligence to code, since as long as the computer tank was below you, all it had to do was aim straight at you with this weapon.

After every round, both the human and computer players have a chance to buy weapons and protection. Weapons range from standard explosive rounds to orbital laser cannon systems. Defence systems include weapon deactivating shields, levitators to stop you from falling and dirt creation weapons which can bury you below a protective layer of dirt.
