Hi,

this is my 2nd release to the PSP-Hacks Homebrew Compo, enjoy!

Introduction

Tankw00rst is a 2-10 multiplayer hot-seat strategy game and is a completely
rewritten clone of the original "Tank Wars" game back in 1990-1992 by Kenneth
Morse. Tank Wars is released prior to the more famous "Scorched Earth" game and
is the base of the whole "Worms" game series.

To get a sense of the original game, just try it by yourself:
http://www.greatinca.net/files/Warez/DOS.Game.-.Tank.Wars.Bomb32.3.2.-.Jul.1992.-.Like.Scorched.Earth.rar
with Dosbox: http://dosbox.sourceforge.net

Features of Tankw00rst so far:
- 2-10 Player Hot-Seat Action
- Realistic ballistic physics (including wind force)
- Scoring system and Statistics

How to play

After setting up the Game and Sound options you can choose Start to get in the
game. The terrain will be built and the tanks will be placed. Now each tank will
do it's move one after another. The following Buttons are useful:

D-Pad Left / Right: Adjust the Angle for the Cannon
D-Pad Up / Down : Adjust the Power for the Shot

Cross Button: Shoot

Hold Circle Button and any D-Pad direction to adjust faster.

Press and hold a bit the left and right Triggers (shoulder buttons) to give up
the current round.

After a round has been played you'll see the Stats and can go to the next round
as well as return to the Main Menu or even quit the Game.

My domain is https by principle, no real meaning lies behind that. But why not? :)

Looks good, I love these type of games, Scorched Earth is better for obvious reasons, but is too complicated. I know your not interested in graphics, but I reckon a couple of animated birds,clouds and a sun would enhance it loads and shouldn't take too long to implement.

Great Job and I hope to see some more updates in the future.

Hmmm Skateblind, now as you typed this, I maybe implement a FUN-Mode where you can actually hit the birds then for say 2 points :D
