--Use--
Use the mouse to rotate around the center of the map.
Keyboard Commands:
- ('+', '=') - Increase Tank Power
- ('-', '_') - Decrease Tank Power
- ('f') - Fire Cannon
- ('m') - Change map
- ('t') - Manually change tanks
- ('a', LEFT_ARROW) - Move turret left
- ('d', RIGHT_ARROW) - Move turret right

Notes:
The game will automatically switch between player's turns. Look at shading of
the text to determine who's turn it is.
When playing with a map with wind, players most compensate for the wind.
Changing the sensitivity will also change the speed of the cannon.
In the case that a cannon should go through a tank: 1) Hit 't' to manually
switch tanks back. 2) Increase the sensitivity. 3) Fire
again.
