CPU Battle Tanks is designed for Computer Science students learning how Central Processing Units work with low level assembly language instructions.
The game involves a set of challenges where you can control a tank to move, collect items and destroy items.
Each tank is controlled by a processor that is compatible with the Little Man Computer CPU instruction set but with additional input and output options to allow the tanks to sense their environment and move / shoot accordingly.

There are two ways of controlling a tank:
- Manual mode: use a gaming controller to move and shoot
- CPU mode: write code for a Little Man Computer CPU that controls the tank
