Program Name: GravityWars (Part 1 of 4)
Submitted By: Ed Bartz (bartz@elbereth.rutgers.edu)
Summary: shoot each other with missles whose trajectory is affected by
gravity of nearby planets.
Poster Boy: Pat White (ain@j.cc.purdue.edu)
Tested.
NOTES:
This is in 4 parts. The first part (this one) contains the icons and
documentation. The other three are the actual program. To assemble
the program from the other three postings, concatenate them together
with an editor, and delete the headers between the uuencoded potions.
Then uudecode the big file.
The documentation icon is set to use the "less" program to display
the text on the screen. If you don't have less (it's not part of
Workbench 1.2, and it's not in our archives), then you can use the
Notebook utility to display the documentation (a kludge, but it works).
To do this, set the icon's default tool to:
Workbench 1.2:Utilities/Notepad
And the tool types to:
WINDOW= 0, 0,636,200
FONT=topaz. 8
FILETYPE=notepad

GravityWars......
The object of the game is for one player to hit the other with a
missle before being hit yourself. Since the ships don't move and the planets
don't move the game sounds easy right...Wrong. All the planets have gravity,
so the missles bend an twist, even reverse. It's very easy to hit yourself.
The two players take turns firing missles by entering firing angles
and velocities. The winner is the ship left alive.
