Keys:

Player #1 (Red) uses the Left (leftmost by default) key

Player #2 (Green) uses the Fire (rightmost by default) key

Each player uses ONE key to control their gun base, as follows:

Press and hold key - start charging up gun power
Release key - begin aiming barrel upwards
Press key - fire weapon
Press key again while in flight - remote-explode shell


Additional Keys During Play:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
G - game over - quit this game right now
R - reset entire game state (uppercase only)
W - abandon this, generate a new mountain


Gameplay Notes:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ZART requires two human players at this time.  There may be a
computer player in future versions.  I recommend placing the
PalmOS unit on a flat table and finding someone you don't mind
standing right next to in order to play. :)

Player #1 uses the Left key, Player #2 uses the Fire key.


Scoring:
~~~~~~~~
Direct hit:   2 points
Grazing hit:  1 point

Don't hit yourself either... blow the shell up before it falls
back onto your base, otherwise you're giving your opponent free
points.
