Description

*Flash Tactics* is an arcady 2D real-time tactics game. It's meant to be very simple while allowing the player to use common-sense tactics. Command 3 UN tanks in a 15 minute coffee break battle against the Russians!

In-game confusion? Please read the README.exe! With the exploration into a new genre comes a learning curve!

Changes

The final finished version of Flash Tactics.

Requires 7zip to extract. 11 MB of nerve shredding action.

Features:
- 7 levels
- Smooth sound
- Psychological and political intrigue...
- Visual help and very helpful README.txt to lessen learning curve
- explosions and slow motion!

Hope you like it.

*If some genius could turn my .py file into an independent .exe and email it to gorksorf@gmail.com, I would REALLY appreciate it. (Someone could just point me in the direction of a really easy .py to .exe converter and I would be happy as well)

Actually I think I'll just release the full version once it's done. I'm working on it, hard.

Hey thanks. I could really use some external motivation at this point. Actually development has been continuing for quite some time. I'll do you the favor of uploading the new incomplete version... soon.

My Ultimatum: I need an opinion (or two) on whether this game is any good or not! If so, I'll finish it. If not, I'll move on. Until I know, the project is on hold. No big deal, I just need to set my priorities! Please comment. Be honest. Thanks, Nathan

Thanks. I fixed that and put up the new code. The level has a new look, and I am working my way through creating other levels. It's nice to know the game works on someone else's machine!

If it runs too slow, say so and I'll see what can be done. If you have suggestions to make the game more fun or run faster, I'm eager for feedback!
