Eschaton

how it plays
- Title screen — number keys pick player count, human count, and your Combatant.
- Map — mouse to aim across the courts, click to designate a target.
- The lob — ↑/↓ set elevation, hold Space and release to launch. Esc re-designates.
- Everything else — Space acknowledges EndStat's rulings. Esc pauses.
Striking another player's person, rather than their matériel, is a rules violation of the gravest sort. Three violations and the game itself is at risk.
