Game Structure
One game of Pocket Tanks takes about 5-10 minutes. This is the basic structure of the game.

1. Choose One Player (play against the computer), Two Players (alternate turns with a friend) or Target Practice (play against a friend with all of the weapons available).

Note: If you choose Target Practice, you skip all of the following steps.

2. Choose Player 1's name and color (and Player 2's name and color if you chose Two Players).

3. Choose computer's difficulty if you chose One Player.

4. 20 weapons chosen at random will show up on the screen. Player 1 chooses first, then the computer (or Player 2) will choose one. You take turns choosing weapons until each player has chosen 10 weapons. You can also choose Random to make the computer randomly select weapons.
