Cannon Command: Artillery Genius! 💣📐

Prepare for a calculated battlefield where precision and geometry are your deadliest weapons! This is Artillery Genius, the ultimate turn-based strategy game where victory isn't about speed, but about flawless calculation. You must eliminate your enemies by mastering the delicate balance of Strength and Angle of your cannon, all while striving for maximum efficiency.

The Science of the Shot: Precision is Power

Every turn presents a fresh challenge on a landscape riddled with hills, valleys, and obstacles. Your objective is to fire your projectile and make a direct hit on your stationary opponent.

• The Strength Meter: This determines the initial velocity of your projectile. Too little strength, and your shot falls short into the dirt. Too much, and it sails harmlessly over the enemy and into the abyss. You must account for gravity and wind effects to choose the perfect launch power.
• The Angle Dial: This sets the trajectory of your shot. A low angle grants speed and distance, while a high angle provides more height, essential for clearing large hills. You must use basic trigonometry (or highly tuned intuition!) to land the shell exactly where it needs to be.

The entire game is centered on predictive physics. You are challenged to mentally, or with the aid of the game's targeting line, simulate the entire arc of the projectile before you commit to the shot.

Achieving Perfection: The Stroke Economy 🎯

In Artillery Genius, your score is determined solely by your Stroke Economy.

• The Goal: The less shots you need, the better your score.
• The Ideal: The highest honor is the One-Shot Wipeout—destroying your target with a single, perfectly calculated strike.
• The Pressure: Every shot you miss is a lost opportunity and gives your virtual opponent a chance to retaliate, potentially costing you the round.

This mechanic forces you to be aggressive with your strategic planning. You must take the time to meticulously adjust both the strength and the angle for the optimal kill shot, rather than relying on multiple weaker attempts. True mastery is demonstrated by the player who can consistently deliver a Lethal First Strike.

Can you master the cannon, calculate the perfect arc, and prove you are the definitive Artillery Genius by achieving the lowest possible stroke count across every tactical scenario? The battlefield awaits your command!
