3.0 Adjusting Options
Go to the appropriate line in the menu and press D-Pad left and right to adjust
an option.
In the Main Menu you can set up how many Rounds you want to play and how many
Players will participate in the game.

3.1 Sound Options
They are greyed out and on the TODO list ;)

3.2 Game Options
Some are greyed out and on the TODO list, the rest is explained here:

3.2.1 Landscape
The Landscape Option allows values from 0 to 50 and influences the Terrain Gene-
rator by means of how much Hills will be added to the Terrain. So that 0 means,
that you'll get a completely flat Landscape, 30 (the default value) gives you
a Landscape with large hills etc.

3.2.2 Ball Visible
If turned on by choosing "Yes", you'll see the ball or bomb flying around, with
"No" that feature is turned off.

3.2.3 Tanks Fall
If Tanks loose more than 5 of the maximum 9 pixels of ground below them, they'll
fall down loosing 1 man of 100 per descented pixel. Turn this feature on by
choosing "Yes" or off by choosing "No".

3.2.4 Wind Force
Wind influences the ball's way through the air the following settings are
possible:
Type     WindForce range

4. How to Play
