Scorched Earth

A modern recreation of the classic Scorched Earth artillery game, written in Zig with raylib.

About

Scorched Earth is a turn-based artillery game where two tanks battle on destructible terrain. Players adjust their aim angle and shot power to hit their opponent while accounting for gravity and terrain obstacles. When projectiles explode, they create craters in the terrain, dynamically changing the battlefield.
