NAME

       slingshot - simple 2D shooting strategy game set in space, with gravity

SYNOPSIS

       slingshot

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the slingshot command.

       slingshot  is a two dimensional, turn based simulation-strategy game set in the gravity fields of several
       planets. It is a highly addictive game, and never the same from  round  to  round  due  to  its  randomly
       generated playing fields.

       It  is a deceptively simple game, the goal is to shoot the other spacecraft through the field of planets,
       but their gravity makes it tricky. The effects of the gravity mean that although it's easy to  learn  how
       to play, and to enjoy playing, it could take a lifetime to thoroughly master.

       In  order  to  hit your opponent, you can rotate you ship to aim in any direction, and you can change the
       power with which your projectile is launched - the initial speed at which it flies.

OPTIONS

       This program has no command line options.
