Armagetron Advanced
Armagetron Advanced is a multiplayer game in 3D that attempts
to
emulate and expand on the lightcycle sequence from the Disney movie
from 1982 called "Tron". If you
ever wanted to take a try at one of those speed demons features in the
movie, this is your chance.
The rules are simple: you ride a light cycle (a kind of
motorbike
that can only turn 90 degrees at a time, leaves a wall behind and
cannot be stopped) and have to avoid running into walls while at the
same time you have to try to get your opponent to run into them.
Armagetron Advanced can be played against AI opponents, against other
humans over the network, or a mixture of both.
Armagetron Advanced works on the unique concept that a cycle
can only
accelerate by riding on another player's wall. The closer you are to a
player's wall, the faster your cycle will accelerate. Brakes are
provided, but they are disabled on many servers. Your cycle turns in
right angles, typically, and leaves a long wall behind it wherever it
goes. With this in mind, let's talk about movement.
