Gameplay

Short build in help with !about.

Up two four players can play at the same time. You can join the game or the queue with !join.

Once in the game, you can move your tank forwards and backwards with !move +/-N where N is a number around roughly 20-150.

You can turn your tank with !turn +/-N where N is the degrees you want to turn (+ is clockwise).

Finally, you can shoot with !shoot N where N is a number around roughly 20-150.

Multiple commands will overwrite each other by type. Per turn, you can only Move+Rotate+Shoot or Rotate+Move+Shoot. The turn time is indicated in the top left corner. Once you're hit you will leave the game and can queue again with !join.
