Some information about this simulator

On the bottom of the game are four buttons: "Game Options", "Start", "Built Manager" and "Restart". If you click the "Game Options" button, a panel appears on the left side. On this panel you must write all important facts like grid size and spawn options. Then you can click the "Create Field" button and a grid appears on the screen. Now you can create your path - system and after that you can press the "Start" button and the simulation begins. Also the "Built Manager" appears on the right side. This panel has three buttons: "Turret", "Enemy" and "Stats". If you click the "Turret" button you can build a turret, if you click the "Enemy" button, you can change the attributes of the enemies. The last button is for the balancing.
