Gameplay
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The goal of the game is to reach a high score. Shoot down the helicopters,
paratroopers, jets and bombs. If four paratroopers manage to land on one
side of the gun, they will create a human pyramid to take you out. (The
only way to kill a landed paratrooper is to have another one fall on their
head.)

The two dogs Noah and Merlin offer help by attacking paratroopers, but after
each attack they have to take a nap.

Other things that end the game are a paratrooper landing directly on the gun
or the gun being hit by a bomb.

Surviving for a long time may not look that hard since the gun can fire a lot
of bullets, however this will not necessarily lead to a high score: each shot
costs one point. Point received for hits are as follows:

 HELI          3
 PARATROOPER   3
 JET           5
 BOMB          5

(Hitting a heli with a paratrooper still on board or a jet that has not yet
dropped its bombs will also award you the points for the paratrooper or bomb.)
