  *NACHRICHT:
- * Ich habe die Klasse Deathmatch einfach per Copy&Paste&Rename als Vorlage für euren Deathmatch genommen.
- * Ein Deathmatch erbt vom Gametype. Der einzige Unterschied zum Gametype ist, dass hier ein bisschen
- * Textausgabe stattfindet. Sollte das Später nicht erwünscht sein, könnt ihr einfach die Gametype-Klasse
- * an die Stelle von Deathmatch setzten.
  *
  * Hier empfehle ich euch die gesamte Spielogik unter zu bringen. Viele Funktionen werden automatisch

  * z.B: WaypointPatrolController. Wenn kein Team zugewiesen wurde bekämpft ein WaypointPatrolController alles,
  * was in seiner Reichweite liegt.
+ *
+ *
+ *HUD:
+ * Ein Gametype kann ein HUD (Head up Display haben.) Z.B: hat Pong eine Anzeige welcher Spieler wieviele Punkte hat.
+ * Generell kann man a) Grafiken oder b) Zeichen in einer HUD anzeigen.
+ * Fuer den ersten Schritt reicht reiner Text.
+ *
+ * a)
+ * PongScore.cc uebernehmen und eigene Klasse draus machen.
+ * Wenn ihr bloss anzeigen wollt wieviele Punkte der Spieler bereits erspielt hat (Punkte = Kapital fuer neue Tuerme) dann orientiert ihr euch an
+ * TetrisScore.cc (im pCuts branch): http://www.orxonox.net/browser/code/branches/pCuts/src/modules/tetris/TetrisScore.cc
+ * Ich habe TetrisScore lediglich dazu gebraucht, um eine Variable auf dem HUD auszugeben. Ein Objekt fuer statischen Text gibt es bereits.
+ *
+ * b)
+ * Im naesten Schritt erstellt man die Vorlage fuer das HUD-Objekt: siehe /data/overlays/pongHUD
+ * OverlayText ist eine Vorlage fuer statischen text zb: "Points Scored:". Aus mir nicht erklaerlichen Gruenden sollte man die OverlayText
+ * Objekte immer erst nach dem PongScore anlegen.
+ *
+ * c) Im TowerDefense gamtype muss im Constructor noch das HUD-Template gesetzt werden.
+ *
+ * d) in CMakeLists.txt noch das Module includen das fuer die Overlays zustaendig ist. Siehe das gleiche File im Pong module.

 Tower
 Represents a Tower
+I'm not actually sure if you have to code C++ in order to have your result. I would suggest to simply create a new spaceship template or maybe better a
+new template for a pawn. (The tower don't need to be spaceships; pawn is just fine.)
+Example for a template: /data/levels/templates/assff.oxt && /data/levels/include/weaponSettingsAssff.oxi
+@ assff.oxt: you don't need an engine (or your towers could fly away :-) and probably no Cameras. (just try what happens if you leave them out.) 
+@ weaponSettingsAssff.oxi:
+<weaponslots>: location where you want to have your tower to be equiped with weapons
+<weaponsets> : if you press fire, you actually always fire a whole set of weapons. The amount of weaponsets is defined here. (I'm not 100% sure whether this explanation is right.)
+
+There are three <Weapon> tags - one for each weaponslot. Each weapon can contain several objects which you would probably
+refer to as "weapons":
+
+LightningGun: Shoots a slow, rotation, yellow "ball".
+HsW01: the default laser weapon
+SimpleRocketFire: a weak (self steering) rocket
+RocketFire: a strong rocket
+                         
+About your Tower's Template location - either keep it in the level or do it similarly to the Assff templates.
+(If your towers behave & look nicely, I'm quite sure others want to include them in other levels, too.)
