Artillery 3In this game, two or three humans may play.  Each one of them has anartillery piece and is firing at an opponent.  The first person todestroy his opponent wins that round of the game.  The parameters fordistances and muzzle velocities of the artillery pieces are set at thebeginning of the game.  The shots are fired by giving a firing angleexpressed in degrees from the horizontal.In a three player game, you may elect which player you are firing at;hence, player one and three could both be firing at player two.  Onceone of the players is eliminated, then it becomes a two player gameand each of the remaining two players fires at each other.Personally, I would prefer to think of this game as lobbing mudpies orsnowballs or custard cream pies or something non-destructive.However, it was originally written as shoot-'em-up game so that's howit appears here.This game was originally written by Mike Forman and further revised byN.E. Lyon and Brian West.  It first appeared in Creative Computing,Jan/Feb 1976.
