3. A Brief History
30 January 2053, battle for the moon vs. an alien colony
Landed large amounts of military forces on the moon
17th of November 2062, war ends: new technology for creating an atmosphere
20 years later... the moon is inhabitable
War begins anew, using the remaining forces from the first war
Commandeer an abandoned tank and eliminate any other tanks

8. Algorithms: Collision Detection
Sphere-sphere Collisions
Triangle-sphere Collisions
Adapted from Triangle World

9. Algorithms: Bullet Firing
Tank creates a bullet object with
Initial Launch Angle
Initial Launch Power
Bullet object passed to world
Moves and collides bullet
Shortens fuse
World destroys bullet
collision with terrain or tank
fuse expiration

10. Algorithms: Turn Iteration
Change turns when bullet dies
Loops until bullet is fired
Loops until bullet dies
Rinse and repeat

11. Future Plans: Gameplay
Strategic tank movement
Player-selected initial start locations
Multiple rounds or levels
Single player mode (target practice)
Team play
Terrain adjustment by collision
Algorithm optimization for collisions

12. Future Plans: Graphics
Graphics for tanks, bullets, and explosions
Graphical text output
Lighting/shadow effects
Chase camera
Initial camera view behind tanks
Weapon variation
