Armagetron Forums

yes, you're absolutely correct. from what little c++ i've read i like it a lot better than java (if i could choose absokutely freely i'd start with c, then c++, then java). I'm a real newbie in programming but seems to me java lost a lot by its main goal of being 100% platform&device independent...

ok i forgot to log in but i guess you all knew anyway

thats ok, don't worry about it save it for later

hmm ok but i'll encouraage you to send a copy of the changes to Z-man anyway (you can either use the official website or the sourceforge site, it shouldn't matter), that way it can be made progressively better by other coders as well as get implemented in the other OS'es... does it help if i say ple...

*sits in another room with earplugs and blindfold, shouts to monkey at keyboard: "left.... right, left, right.... left, left, right"*

satisfied? (i'll never make money this way)

btw love your location, we must be neighbours

cool

hope you've mailed the changes to the official site, it might speed up the next official release

hmm ok who wants to make a patch so we can all use images in the armagetron chat instead of ascii art? (j/k) :roll: __ __ ___ ________ ______ __ _ ___ __ __ \ \ \ \ \ \ \_ __ \ / ____/ / /_/ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ / / / / / / / / / / \___ \ \___ _/ / / / / / / \/ \/ \_/ \_/ \_/ /______/ /__/ \_/ \/ \/ :P

*Z-man (the german programmer who made the game in case you don't know) strikes again!* i'm totally convinced this is a feature :D rules, boundaries, and predictability is for normal games, not for special GNU GPL hackadelic games like Armagetron 8) seriously, it is so wizardlike to make a game wher...

it has to do this with lag: editing settings (like which colors your bike has) in config during play seems to increase the server workload more than it should... this in turn makes things go slower and people experience more lag (not always the case but often). same thing can be experienced if peopl...

how much? (and how long are you prepared to wait for it?)

so i thought i'd mention it: i've seen some nice trailskins made by ppl who doesn't have a place to share them. these are small files, maybe they could be allowed to upload the files into an area of this server and post them in a folder on the forum named "modified files" or something? :id...

my 2 cents:

ppl should still be able to log on with new names seperately with a "guest" option (authentication shouldn't exclude non-authentication, just preserve the name integrity for those registered)

slightly off topic but i never use the lagometer, find that i do a better job myself in prediction of where ppl are (does the lagometer lag itself maybe?)

if you find yourself sucking bigtime, well, suck good then

take pride in being good at what you do, even if you're doing bad start getting famous for outrageously crazy deaths or something like that
