Adventures of TRON is an Armagetron Advanced game server created by sine.wav and hosted by Luke Jr.

The game Armagetron Advanced was inspired by the lightcycle sequence from the movie Tron. While many other lightcycle games exist, Armagetron's online network play makes it superior to all other's. It truly captures the fast-paced, claustrophobic nature of this classic game.

Today, many different variations of game play exist, having evolved from Armagetron's community of open source enthusiasts. One particular type is the race server. In the past, the race server was essentially a short drag-race along a narrow field with obstacles in-between you and the opposite end. I felt like this could be improved upon.

While traditional Armagetron play mimics Tron's lightcycle sequence, the Adventures of TRON race severs aims to capture the events immediately following; the escape from the game grid and high speed chase through the twisted labyrinth that is the world of the MCP.

I wanted to bring the excitement of racing to Armagetron in a way that had not been done before. Each hand-made track is designed to challenge player's ability to handle not only speed and skill, but decision making as well. I also wanted to push the limits of the game environment. Players are no longer "in a box," but in an expansive, complex space that juxtaposes tight, restrictive areas with large, open ones in a sort of "indoor/outdoor" effect. Some areas are meant to confuse and disorient, while others are meant to provide a sense of grandness.

Another aspect of the Adventures of TRON race server that differs from regular Armagetron play is the camera view. All the tracks are designed from the first-person view (otherwise know as incam or cockpit mode). Although all camera modes are enabled, the incam provides the best overall experience and provides a slight advantage over the popular third-person cameras.

To complete the whole racing experience, I have designed a "moviepack" (a set of custom textures) intended to increase visibility on the playing field. Please consider installing it!
