Planets is 130,000 bytes of break through!  This game pushes ZZT to it's limit!  The 2 player game screen alone takes up 19,600 bytes and it should take up more but, ZZT has 20,000 byte limit on boards.  If I made the board any more complex then the game would cause run time errors and corrupt itself.  We did our best, though.

Controls:
---------

S=Ship Selection
    Touch this to get a list of your ships.  After you select your ship the ship will tell you that it is awaiting orders.

Arrows=Ship Movment
    These tell the selected ship to go the corrosponding direction.  Do not push the arrows too fast other wise the ship will end up off of the grid and it is a pain to get it back on.

Button under the "E"=End turn
    When you push this a scroll will come up and ask you if you want to end your turn.  If you say yes then you can head over to the next player's side.  Do NOT go back to the side you were comming from.  If you do you will be blocked in on your side and this will effectivly mess up your game.

To view battles just enter the passage to them.  Side passage is Ship to Ship battles and down is the Ship to Planet battles.  The Upper passage is just a technical read out of that player's ship design and planet.

Cheating:
---------

Pushing the arrows quickly will cause your ship to HYPERDRIVE across the screen.  This uses no power but, your ship may end up off of the grid.

Zapping asegment out of the line that is blocking you in durring a battle and then moving up to your enemy's hull meter will cause them to be destroyed by your next shot.

Zapping your way over to your power indicater and zapping it.  You now have unlimited power.
