<title>Introduction</title>

<para>&kspaceduel; is an space arcade game for two players.</para> 

<para>Each player controls a ship that flies around the sun and tries to shoot
at the other ship. You can play &kspaceduel; with another person, against the
computer, or you can have the computer control both ships and play each
other.</para>

</chapter>

<chapter id="TheGame">
<title>The Game</title>
<para>The idea of the game is simple (but addictive).  You try to destroy your opponent before he destroys you.</para>
<para>Be careful not to hit the sun.</para>
<sect1 id="RulesOfTheGame">
<title>Rules of the Game</title>
<sect2 id="ShipMovement">
<title>Ship Movement</title>
<para>Each player controls one ship. </para>
<para>The ships can rotate, accelerate, shoot and lay mines.</para>
</sect2>

<sect2 id="Energy">
<title>Energy</title> 

<para>Each ship has an amount of energy (refer to the game
options for values). </para> 

<para>Ships need energy for rotation, acceleration, shooting and laying mines. A
ship gets energy from its solar panels. The amount of energy a ship gets depends
on the distance from and direction to the sun. A ship gets more energy near the
sun and less energy near the border. It gets the full amount of energy if the
sun shines directly on the panels and less or even no energy if the sun shines
at an angle to the panel or to the side of the panel.</para>

<para>If a ship has no energy it can't navigate or shoot. </para>

</sect2>

<sect2 id="HitPoints">
<title>Hit points</title>

<para>Collisions with own or other bullets or mines decrease the hit points of a
ship.  If two ships collide, the weaker ship is destroyed and the hit points of
the stronger ship are decreased by the hit points of the weaker ship plus an
amount (Crash Damage). A ship is destroyed when it flies into the sun.</para>

</sect2>

<sect2 id="BulletsandMines">
<title>Bullets and Mines </title>

<para>Bullets fly around the sun like a ship. </para>

<para>Mines have an amount of energy to stay at the same position. When the
energy is spent, the mine falls into the sun. Mines near the sun need more
energy than those which are further away. </para>

<para>Mines can be destroyed with bullets. </para>

<para>By default a ship can have 5 bullets and 3 mines on the screen. </para>

</sect2>
