   Well ... it has three views.

[1] map view (showing land and sea and other ships) if you go too close to land
you run a muke)

[2] parascope view (as you would see the other ships through a parascope) Of
course if you go too low you can't see anything.

[3] sonar view (looking at other ships a seen in a radar screen).


also there is instrement view that is seen all the time.

showing:
[1] depth
[2] direction of travel
[3] speed of travel
[4] how long you have been out (there is no limit to this)
[5] amount of air, if air goes too low you must surface.

 You start out with so many torpedoes
  The object is too sink as much tonage as posible
Also the other ships can drop depth charges You must drop low and shut off all
  engines.
After a while you must go topside to get more air and refresh the ballasts.

It's been awhile I don't remember every thing. Seems it would be a lot of work
to write in Euphoria.
