(C64 version)

• game starts at bridge 1, three planes, full tank
• bridge counter increments upon bridge destruction, river flashes red (checkpoint)
• no points due if enemy destroys stuff
• extra life every 10.000 points + fancy tune (e.g. at 2:00)
• blast radius of tank pretty large (3:55)
• no point loss upon death
• fuel consumption independent of speed
• surviving tanks shoot at destroyed bridge
• red helicopers shoot again when projectile hits wall, i.e. shoot rapidly upon approaching walls
• fuel sounds differ (filling up versus full)
• points:
  black helicopter: 60
  ship: 30
  fuel depot: 80
  bridge with tank: 750
  ballon: 60
  bridge without tank: 500
  white plane: 100
  red helicopter: 150

(atari 5200 version)

• warning sound at 1/4 fuel (19:40)
• roughtly 27 seconds til warning sound (19:03 - 19:30), i.e. 36s until full depletion in 30 increments

https://gaming.youtube.com/watch?v=RlOEj4gqzIU (atari 800)

• dropping sound upon empty fuel (11:10)
• tank does not shoot at bridge 4, but at bridge 7? maybe only from level 5-7 onwards?

I stopped the Godot process twice because I thought it crashed before I analyzed the code and realized what happened: Precalculating and placing 52.000 collision objects at startup takes approximately 70 seconds on my machine, without any visual clue of what's happening. 😲

I see two possible improvements for this:

1. Dynamically add new lines as needed during the game instead of placing all tiles in advance.
2. Use tiles with collision detection for the coastline only; draw the rest of the scene using larger shapes without any collision detection instead of using tiles 0 and 15.
