Tanky V4 is an exciting game with cool old-school graphics (featuring
lines, flying pixels and all in 16 colors :)
It's a multplayer game, up 2-3 players on one keyboard.
The main goal is to shoot your opponents down. You have one tank, 5 shots
and shield which can take 5 damage. Every time, there are different bonuses
flashing around. Collect them and gain faster weapons, more shots, recharge
your shield ...
Best-scored player wins.
Short history
1998 - Tanky. One of my first playable game. Done in Borland C++ 3.1 and using
the original graphics.h functions.
It contains 10 levels + 1 (when draw) and 50 tiles. It has very simple
scoring : 1 victory = 1 point.
2000 - Tanky II. It has now 100 tiles. Game speed selection added, mines can
be destroyed, blinking mines added, shots appear after a tank explodes.
Also added "Flawless victory" and "UF" victory types.
2001 - Tanky III. This is only Tanky II with new levels and graphics.
2003 - Tanky V4. Large rebuilds done. it contains 200 tiles, 3 16x16 icons.
The largest improvements :
- bonuses : they appear on the screen and give you some more or less
useful advantages.
- blinking walls : not only mines, but now all walls can blink.
- scoring system : points for victory and every successful hit.
- walls can be destroyed
- 2 languages supported
2004 - TankEdit. A nice Java/Swing based editor for V4 released.
june 2004 - Tanky V4 for Linux. Using the Allegro library, I made wrapper
functions for the conio.h and graphics.h functions.
Now it runs in 256-color mode, but still uses 16 colors as before.
