LONG DESCRIPTION:
═════════════════
BATTLE CHARGE is a two-player strategy game played on a grid with two
sets of opposing (red vs. blue) neutral and charged pieces. A player
moves by choosing an initial velocity for one of his pieces, which then
follows a trajectory influenced (for a charged piece) by the distribu-
tion of other charges on the board. The motion ends following a colli-
sion with another piece. Depending on the pieces involved, collisions
may result in a variety of transformations between charges and positions.
The game ends when a charged piece captures (collides with) its opposing
king.
