What is it?

            Torched Earth is a Scorched Earth type of game.  If you don't know
          what Scorched Earth is, it's like QB Gorillas with tanks and lots
          of weapons.  And if you don't know what QB Gorillas is, it's a game
          where you choose an angle and power to shoot at another person on
          screen.

How to play:

              First of all, you need a mouse.
             
              You can choose from 8 players.  They can be either computer or
            human.  You can by 6 different weapons with the money you have.
            You have an infinite amount of baby missiles.
              When You play, you choose the angle, power, and what type of
            weapon your going to shoot.

            IMPORTANT!  Left click on the weapon icons to choose them.  Left
            click on nothing to choose a baby missile.  The weapon you choose
            will be below the weapon icons.  If there is nothing there, that
            means you chose a baby missile.

              Now that you know how to choose he weapons, you press ENTER to
            shoot.

              Your objective is to destroy all the tanks on the battlefield
            accept you.  If you win, you will receive $10000 credits to buy
            more weapons, else you will receive on $5000.

Controls:

          To choose a weapon while playing, look up at the 'IMPORTANT!' place.
        To change the Power and Angle, you can use the mouse pointer, and
        click on the '- +' things or:
                                     Home = power + 1
                                     End  = Power - 1
                                     PgUp = power + 10
                                     PgDn = power - 10

                                         = Angle + 1
                                         = Angle - 1
                                         = Angle + 10
                                         = Anlge - 10

                                    Enter = shoot
                              Right Click = shoot

How smart are the computer tanks?

              They aren't smart, they randomly buy weapons.  They also
            randomly choose an angle, power, and weapon to shoot.  They can
            still hurt you though.  They're fun to play around with.

More weapons?

              You can, if you decide to look throw all the code to see how all
            of it works.  I was going to put more weapons in, but I would have
            to redo most of the code to get the number of weapons I want in
            this game.  So, I am might make a Torched Earth 2 that will have
            a lot more stuff.

Object Editor:

                I used this to make the tanks and weapon icons for the game.
              It's kind of a cruddy editor, but it worked.  I didn't make much
              stuff with it.  After I made all the objects, I merged them into
              one file.

Delta Code?
