Yes, its Command & Conquer for the TI-83.  If you have played the PC game, you'll like this one. This is a 2-player game only.  The object of Command & Conquer is to destroy your opponent by building up your base and army.


============================ How to Play ====================================
	>Send candc.83g to your calculator.  Run CANDC to play.
	>Enter 1 to start a new game.
	>Select GDI (Global Defense Initiative) or Brotherhood of NOD
	>Choose to play with the grid ON or OFF
	>The game is now started


========================== The Main Screen ==================================
The main screen is the screen with the grid. The + sign is the cursor.  You can move it around with the arrow keys.  The right side shows your points and looks like this----
            
	    GDI    <your team name
            1=BILD
             30    <the number of build points you have
            2=UNIT
             30    <the number of make points you have
            3=M/A
             30    <the number of move/attack points
            4=INFO
            9=END


============================= Doing Stuff ===================================
Different stuff happens at the square with the cursor on it when you press buttons 1-4. This is what they do--
 	1) Builds buildings        (you must have construction yard)
 	2) Makes Units             (you must have barracks)
  	3) Moves/attacks with units
    	4) Gets info on selected thing
    	9) Ends your turn


==============================1)BUILDING=====================================
There are 5 different buildings you can build:

       NAME		COST  	HEALTH    WHAT IT DOES
1)Construction Yard	NA    	100       Builds building
2)Barracks          	40     	40        Makes Units
3)Power Plant        	30     	30     	  Power to Build
4)Point Silo         	20     	20    	  Stores Bonus Points
5)Guard Tower        	30     	10  	  Guards the area around it

You can only build one of each building, if a building
is destroyed you can build it back though 
  (Except Construction Yards, you cant build them back)



=============================2)MAKE UNITS====================================
There are 6 different units you can build:

	NAME		COST 	MOVECOST HEALTH	DAMAGE	MOVEDISTANCE	LIMIT 
1)Machine gunner  	20  	10       5      5	10    		3
2)Bazooka guy     	30   	20       5     	10	5		3
3)Rambo/Terminator	80    	30       30     60	15		1
4)Jeep            	30    	20       10     5	15		2
5)Tank            	40    	30       20     20     	5		2
6)Helicopter		50	50	 30	50	30		1

COST         = how much it costs to make
MOVECOST     = hom much it costs to move or attack with it
HEALTH       = how much health it has to begin with
DAMAGE       = how much damage it causes
MOVEDISTANCE = how many spaces it can move in one turn
LIMIT	     = how many of that unit you can make


==============================3)MOVE/ATTACK==================================
You can move or you can attack, they both use up the same amount of points
MOVING    - If you select move, then it switches back to the main screen.
       	Use the arrow keys to move the unit around.
       	You cant move onto the same space as another building or unit.
       	If you move onto the spaces around your opponents Guard Tower, your          unit is destroyed.
       	Moving stops when you go the max. number of spaces or you press 
       	ENTER twice.
ATACKING - If you select attack, you then move the cursor on top of what you
    	want to attack.
	You can only attack your opponents stuff.
	You can only attack objects next to your unit unless you are a 
	Rambo, Terminator, Tank, or Helicopter. They have a range of 2 spaces	
	When you attack, it shows what you attacked and how much health it 
	has.  
	If it's health is 0 or less, then it is destroyed.


=============================4)GETTING INFO==================================
When you press 4, info on what the cursor was on is displayed.
The team name, object name, and amount of health of the object is shown.
If you press 4 over nothing, it says "NUTHIN BUT LAND"


=============================ENDING YOUR TURN================================
When you have decided that your turn is over, press 9.  Then pass the calculator to your opponent.  

At the beginning of your turn, you get all your points back.
If you have a Point Silo, you get to add Bonus Points.


===============================BONUS POINTS==================================
If you have a Point Silo, then the Bonus Points screen will appear at the beginning of your turn.
You can add 10 points to BUILDINGS, SOLDIERS/VEHICLES, or MOVE/ATTACK
(Note: The points are not really "Bonus", the 10 points are taken from the other 2 categories.)

...or you can 5 points to the ABOMB fund.  When you have 100 ABOMB points,
you completely destroy everything, but since you dropped it, you win.



=================================WINNING=====================================
OK, to win the game you must destroy all of the opponents buildings, or drop an ABOMB.



===============================MERORY ERRORS=================================
Since this is a BASIC game, you will get memory errors every now and then.  If you get one, dont panic.  Just select QUIT, then press ENTER, then do 
CONTINUE.  You should now be right where you left off.



==================================HINTS======================================
Here are a few hints:
	1) If you want to stop the game and finish later, press ON at the 	main screen.  Then when you want to play, do CONTINUE.
	2) Build a Construction Yard in the corner first
	3) Position your Guard Tower and another building so that there is a 	"wall" around your Construction Yard
	4) Put all your Bonus Points toward Units, build up a huge army, then 	put your bonus points toward moving/attacking and attack.
	(Note: these are just hints, there is probably a better strategy)


===============================OTHER INFO====================================
This game was made by me, Daniel Sims, it was written in BASIC.  This game took me about 3 weeks to make and I programmed most of it during chemestry and lunch classes  :o)   

I wanted to do a whole lot more, but there just isnt enough memory on the calculator.  At first the buildings had different shapes and there were more buildings and units to choose from.  But I had to take a lot out to get it to fit.  I think it is still pretty good for a BASIC game.

In the future I might make an Assembly version:
	If I did it would have computer opponents, water, more units, different terrains, missions, and may play in Real Time.


============================QUESTIONS/COMMENTS===============================
