The objective:
Currently to drive around in your tank and destroy your opponent. The current
version only supports network and modem play for opponents, the final version
will hopefully have computer players.

The game currently supports up to four players.

To install the game go to the unzip directory and double click on setup, this
will start the setup which will guide you through the setup. If directx is
not installed you can have the setup do this for you by picking the
typical setup, if you already have directx you can pick custom setup and
uncheck the direct x box to speed up the install Note: under NT 4.0 the
install will not display these options.

Once the game is installed all you need to do is go to the start menu,
pick programs, and then go to "The methodical destruction of slow moving
vehicles" and double click on tanks. The next step is to go through the
wizard which will allow you to create a game or connect to an existing
game. The creator has complete control over how many people (up to four)
can enter, once he hits the finish button no one else may enter the game.
At this point the creator must pick a map for everyone to use and then the
game will start.

The game is very straightforward, here are the controls:

a               -       rotate turret left
s               -       rotate turret right
up arrow        -       forward
down arrow      -       backwards
left arrow      -       turn tank left
right arrow     -       turn tank right
tab             -       changes weapons (cycles through weapons)
number keys     -       changes weapons (picks a specific weapon)
t               -       turbo (you get a limited amount)
k               -       send messages
r               -       repair tank (takes a long time)

You can also customize these keys by using the wizard.

This game has alot of weapons that you can use, among them

regular shot - it hits something and blows it up
cut shot - it will cut through objects and blow them up
angled shot - launches up and comes down to destroy an area
rockets - locks and follows target
mines - you can always see them, but the enemy can't see them till they
        get close
pill boxes - round turrets that shoot any tanks that come by.

Well that it for the most part, alot of things still need to be added
so any suggestions are welcome.
