IKD is a remake of the tank game from Atari's Combat or its arcade precursor Tank. It was the first pack-in game included with the original Atari 2600 as released in 1977. You earn points by shooting the other tank.
Combat was one of the first video games I ever played and IKD is the first program I have written in C. Whilst I don't claim it to be of high quality, it should be simple enough for a beginner programmer to understand the source code.
