SpaceWar

Galen Williamson, 1994

Basic 2D space battle, 2 ships fighting to the death.

Note: Ship images hand copied, pixel by pixel from the classic SpaceWar
shareware CGA game for DOS, (C) 1985 B Seiler.

Torpedoes and Lasers use Fuel, and torpedo hits from either player and laser
hits deplete shields.  Only 1 torpedo is allowed onscreen per player.  Shields
and Fuel levels are automatically balanced: wasting ammo will deplete shields,
and shield hits will deplete ammo.

Either or both players can be controlled by the computer, using the menus.
The computer player can be switched on and off mid-game, so by positioning
the ships manually, the player can create different starting conditions for
the computer to play itself.

There's no score-keeping, and no real features.  Just play the game -- you'll
know who won.  Unfortunately, I don't have access to a Borland Pascal compiler
for Windows, so I can't fix the little deficiencies.

Enjoy it, for what it's worth.  (It is a nice short download :-)
