NETWORK DEMO
------------
All players should select a unique, identifying name before entering the game.
One player should initiate a game by selecting START NETWORK GAME. This
player is presented with various options to define the game parameters before
playing. Once the initiator is into the game, up to 7 more players can join
him. A player who wishes to join an active game should select
'JOIN NETWORK GAME'. The joiner will then be presented with a menu of all
existing active games to choose from.
It's simple:
-Get the most kills by blowing up other tanks.
-Enhance your tank's battle capabilities by picking up the collectables.
-Learn which weapons work best in certain situations.
-Power up your weapons selectively.
-Use the teleporter network in conjunction with the micro map.
-Form alliances with other players!
-Be ruthless
A few of the Special Weapons require explanation of their use-
The ONBOARD TELEPORTER is primed by selecting it as your special weapon
then activating it. This fixes the location where you will return to
when you activate it again later.
INVISIBILITY and INVULNERABILITY are not activated when you pick them up-
they must be activated by pressing the special weapon fire key. The effect
will last for a finite time, indicated by a countdown timer in your Sanya
Display Monitor (SDM).
RADAR CLOAK ensures that you are radar invisible to all other tanks.
The HEAT SEEKER needs to have a target tank nearby before it's fired.
ELECTRO STORM- activate this, then motor out of the blast radius !
The 4 colored indicator boxes in your SDM show when the following
functions are activated- RADAR CLOAK, INVISIBILITY, TELEPORT, INVULNERABILITY.
Your final goal is to complete the level by getting the BEACON to the GREEN
TELEPORTER. Do it to them before they do it to you...

COMTAC key again- any other key will cycle through the screens.
Zoom in and out of the tactical map using the + and - keys.
Text Mode allows you to type an abusive text message and send it to all other
players. You can make sure the message is not sent to certain players
by toggling the '+' sign beside their names using the F1- F8 keys.
Store a text message for sending later by pressing any function key from 1-8
and the LEFT SHIFT key. Press the function key on its own to send the message.

Feedback and Known Problems
---------------------------
NOTE: This is a beta demo version and a few features are to be added and we
know a couple of bugs exist:
*There are a couple of buildings that contain pickups (according to the
tactical map), but the buildings can't be destroyed.
*The game can be crashed on occasion by manuvering your tank to the far right
of the map (near the boundaries), and switching back & forth on your tactical
map.
