I grew up playing scorched Earth on Windows 3 just over a thousand years ago, and have always enjoyed that game. here is my implementation using a circular world with basic orbital dynamics added. in theory it works on mobile as well, but is best intended to be a PC browser game.
in the interest of transparency, this was generated on qwen 3.8: 27b, so you should consider the "my implementation" loose at best.
I'd love feedback on what works and what doesn't.
some weapons, such as the laser satellite and the peacock feather have additional actions that can be commanded after the initial launch. for instance the laser satellite will shoot a laser in whatever the current orientation is, and the peacock feather will split up into multiple feathers when pressing the space button or the fire button again.

How long did it take to make this with Qwen?
Loved that game...and there is definite potential here. It seems like a player can just move right next to opponent and fire? That doesn't seem right?
good catch, thank you. I will update so that you're limited to like one to two tank lengths per turn.
I also grew up playing Scorched - love this twist on the old idea.
Very cool! it seems like the first player can't switch weapons though.
Moving L/R is OP
Yes you can drive up to your opponent and hit them point blank
Good catch, fix in progress. I am also working on adding a single player version and a leaderboard.
