- 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.
