  interface to control the
  tanks

  detection

Beta 5: 
- you can again move one tank
  with the arrow keys and shoot
  with the space key 
- i''ve upgraded the game to
  the newer DirectX 7 drivers.
  That makes the game more
  compatible with newer
  3d hardware. 
- implemented trees (it
  was not easy to draw partly
  transparent trees AND
  transparent explosions AND
  smoke without graphics
  errors) 
- collision
  detection.

Beta 4: 
- you can again move one tank
  with the arrow keys and shoot
  with the space key 
- exlosions have been greatly
  improved. Light effects for
  explosions and bullets have
  been added. 
- Evening scene ambient light. 
- not speed-optimized yet, so
  I suggest a 3d-accelerator
  card and at least a Celeron
  processor.

  Beta 3: 
- in this demo you can move one
  of four tanks (use arrow keys)
  and shoot the others (space
  key) 
- with small explosions
  (will be greatly improved in
  the next versions) 
- the turrets
  are moving in two directions
  now 
- the graphics are at
  800x600 and bilinear filtered,
  so you should use a
  3d-accelerator card (still
  works without...) 
- terrain textures change when
  you drive over the terrain

Beta 2: 
This beta version shows a tank,
  which is moving (use the arrow
  keys!) and another one aiming
  at it. The graphics are
  currently not very detailed and
  the resolution is low for
  testing purposes. It will get
  better in the next versions!

DirectX test: 
  This is a program to test
  DirectX, lighting and
  Tank 3.0''s 3d-objects
  format. It shows a spinning
  tank with light effects of
  a low evening sun
  (how romantic...).

DirectX quad test: 
  After I finally got DirectX
  running, I wrote this example
  of a textured moving
  quad. It already includes
  a Z-Buffer.

Beta 1 with benchmarks: 
  This is my first attempt
  to get terrain graphics.
  This demo uses direct
  GDI graphics, not DirectX.
  The demo shows just the
  terrain.
  Additionally, benchmarks
  of other programming
  languages (Delphi) are
  included. (some of that
  programs don''t work)
