Tankers

Tankers version 7.0.
If you are using the TI-89 titanium, use the file in the 'Titanium' folder.
Release Note: This will probably be the last version as I have managed to lose the
source code.
The source for version 6.0.1 is available, so if you are up to the challenge, turn
that into
this version and you will be forever an amazing human being.
Also included in this zip is the newest map editor. You must use Tankers version
7.0.0 to use maps
created with this map editor. This version of tankers WILL also open older maps.
Also included in this zip is the old version of tankers if you like that style of
movement better.

============================================================>
Multi-Player Instructions:
Send Tankers.89z, Tankers.89y, and at least 1 map file (tmap.89y, mazemap.89y,
beach___.89y etc..)
to your calculator, as well as tankers (tankers.89z) and tdat (tankers.89y) to the
calculator you are playing
against (the calculator who is not hosting does not need any maps). Run Tankers()
on both calculators.
Decide who is hosting - this person should press 'Host'; pick a map to use, press
down.
(there should be a map named tmap, beach___ and another named mazemap in the
folder, tmaps,
if the folder tmaps does not exist, or does not have any maps in it, it will not
work); pick a number of
battles the winner must win in order to win (between 1 and 9). Press down. If you
want a minimap, leave
the 'MiniMap' option at yes; if you don't, press left or right to turn it off.
Press 2nd. Whoever is not hosting,
press 'Join'. The game should start, press 2nd to fire. Note: if you press 2nd
while your missile is in the air, it
resets - you only get ONE (1) missile!!! (if you hold 2nd, the missile stays in
front of your tank). After someone
shoots the other guy, it will say "You won the Battle," or "You lost the Battle".
It should start the next round until
the winner wins the number of wins needed to win. To pause, press esc, then
select 'Return' to return to the game;
you can unpause and quit from either calculator (does not depend on who paused the
game).
To exit, press ESC, then select 'Quit'. The HUD shows your score on the left, your
opponent's on the right,
and the number you are playing to on the bottom.
Single Player Instructions:

Send Tankers.89z, Tankers.89y, and at least 1 map file (tmap.89y, mazemap.89y,
beach___.89y etc...)
to your calculator. Select "One Player". Select your map. The Game should
start. In one player,
you can have up to 20 bullets in the air at a time. So if it's not firing, it's
because you shot
a lot of bullets into a large open map. The HUD shows your life (the bar) and the
number of enemy
tanks that are left to be killed.
note:
-Some maps have locations in which it is impossible to access with your tank, but
some enemy
tanks may spawn there. This is a problem obviously because you will not be able to
win.
Just live with it and exit when you feel you've had enough fun. With the newest
version of the map editor,
you can place tanks wherever you want, so this problem has a solution.

=============================================================>

-20 bullets in the air at a time in single player.
-Life in single player.
-3 lives in single player.
-AI makes more intelligent movements.
-New map editor allows placement of player tanks and enemy tanks.
-Titanium compatability.

-Fixed Multiplayer bug.

-AI tanks for single player games.
-"Smooth" edges - makes your tank go around objects that you are partially, but not
completely out of the way of.
-Bullets no longer accelerate (insta-fast again)
-Bug Fixes.
-5 Map contest winners are included in the zip.
1. Untitled by Michael O'Brien
2. The Hood by Chris Dzoba
3. LandLake by Michael O'Brien
4. MSBases by Malcolm Smith
5. Mirror by Joseph Eichinger

-All options are on the same page
-New 'Minimap' Option (on/off)
-Bushes explode when you shoot them and turn in to walkable tiles
-You can shoot over water
-Fixed bug where if the link connection breaks during gameplay and you go back to
host a game it'll now work correctly
-Optimized so it doesn't send the map every battle

-Should work on AMS 2.08
-Missiles now accelerate to cut down on number of explosions on the screen at the
same time (makes game go faster)..
and it looks kind of cool. Missiles will not go accross the entire map; they can
only go about 2/3's of the way accross
the map, so you can't shoot the other guy at the very start of the game.
<==New in version 4.5==>

-Better Collision Detection (perfect and faster)
-Now needs about 15K less RAM to run (due to new collision detection)
-Much neater text everywhere (everything except memory error messages are in
Tankers' custom text
-Pause screen (esc pauses on both calculators with a nice pause screen and allows
you to quit, or return to playing)
-No possible way I can think of where a calculator will freeze. (if it does,
PLEASE email me and tell me what you did when it happened)
-Now works with the TI-92 Plus keymap, although it looks very ugly. But it works,
so you can
play with or against someone with a TI-92+, even if one is an 89 and the other is a
92+.

-Moved Mini-Map to very bottom right
-Made Mini-Map Transparent on the dark plane
-Dots blink in the minimap for easier location of them
-Now uses extgraph sprite functions, so speed is about twice as fast!!!
-Made Tank movement more realistic [moves 3 pixels if not diagonal; moves 8^(1/2)
pixels if diagonal (2 pixels vertical and horizontal)]
-Fixed bug where you can fire through some places where you shouldn't be able to
fire through
(facing up left or down right on 2 diagonally placed blocks)
-Fixed roof tile graphic

-Won't Crash your calculator, ever, hopefully. (tell me what you did if it does,
i'll fix it)
-Bug Fixes
-BRAND NEW TANK - 3D and much better looking
-Fixed bug where if you tie a battle it'll say you both win (UNLESS 1 of the
calculators thinks it won the entire war, this
will be fixed in future versions)
-Continuous gameplay after each battle - won't stop

-Multi-map support
-Bug Fixes
-ZELDA TILES from Link's Awakening
-Much less boring map
-Several Bug Fixes
-Optimized even more
-Masked Tanks

-Grayscale
-MUCH, MUCH faster
-Smaller tanks=more movement between blocks
-Explosions
-Diagonal movement
-Can play to a certain number
