Introduction
DUEL is a simple, but highly addictive two player game. The aim is to shoot your opponent before they can shoot you. Players take it in turns to shoot at each other. During each turn you can alter the position of your tank, change the angle of the barrel, and even increase the power of the shot. The DUEL landscape is randomly generated each game, and there are literally billions of possible outcomes. So each game of DUEL is completely different.

From here you can choose to play the game or exit. You are also able to alter the gravity from here. Choosing random gravity will mean that for each game of duel you play the gravity will be different.
During the game
Each player takes it in turn to fire a single shot in an attempt to hit their opponents tank. There are many thing that affect each shot, and these are described below.

Gravity - Gravity pulls the shell towards the ground. The higher the gravity the quicker the shell will fall. The gravity will stay the same throughout the whole game.

Wind - Wind pushes the shell sideways. A negative wind value will push the shell to the left, and a positive value will push it to the right. The wind may change slightly each turn.

Angle - Angle dictates which direction the shell will travel in when it is fired.

Power - Power determines what speed the shell leaves the barrel at. The higher the power the quicker the shell will travel.

Move - This control moves your tank to the left or right. The tank cannot travel up or down slopes. This is intentional to prevent you from driving up to your opponent and shooting them from point blank range.

Fire - Press this once you are satisfied with all the settings to fire at your opponent.

Zeppelin - There is a zeppelin that floats above the landscape carrying a bomb. If the zeppelin is hit it will drop it's bomb. Being beaten by the zeppelin bomb is very humiliating, and can cause serious ribbing.

Scenery - Each time the ground is hit a hole is blown in it. Blowing away the landscape is a useful tactic against opponents that hide behind it.

Winning
To win the game you must hit your opponents tank with either your shell or the zeppelin bomb. It is also possible to shoot yourself, in which case your opponent wins. Only a direct hit is good enough to win the game a partial hit will not do.

Future
Duel is very much a Work In Progess, and I hope to add a lot more to it before it is finished. The main additions will be graphics with completely different graphic sets being made available. So you will be able to DUEL in the jungle, the desert, or even on the moon.
I also hope to add an original set of sound effects as opposed to the ones supplied by Div Games Studio (WWW.DIV-ARENA.COM).

Modify
If you have a copy of Div Games Studio it is possible to modify the graphics for DUEL. Simply open the level.fpg file whilst in Div and then drag the graphic to be modified to the desktop. Then make any alterations you like, and finally return it to the level.fpg file in the same place it came from. It is important when modifying graphics not to alter the control points, or the game will not run correctly. If you create a new graphics set for DUEL I would love to see it so why not send us a copy. The best ones will be posted on our website, or maybe even included in the final game (with your permission of course).
