  Tanks is a game for two players. The object of the game is to
 win the best out of three rounds. You win a round if your opponent`s
 tank is destroyed. You take turns picking the angle and power to get
 your missiles through the wind and past the scenery to hit your
 opponent`s tank.
 
  Both players start each round with 10 shield points. You lose shield
 points according to the number of the missile that hits you. As your
 tank gets damaged, your maximum power level decreases. When you buy a
 shield item, your maximum power level increases.
 
  Both players start the game with 400 credits. You earn credits when
 you survive after you fire a missile, or when you damage your opponent`s
 tank. You lose credits when your tank is destroyed. You use your credits
 to buy the items in the game. Missile 1 is a free item.
