First, to answer your question to Lucifer (which is not really a big deal): he basically said to me that any ideas and questions I have about the project need to be asked in the open. At the time we were in a private IRC chat and he told me that his philosophy of open source means that what informat...

Armagetron Revitalization?

When I first started thinking about getting more involved with Arma, I thought I understood the philosophy behind the project, but Lucifer made me understand that I actually don't. I told him that I didn't want to talk openly about what I'm thinking about the community, and the reason is that I don'...

I like the idea with exploded lightcycle as well, but it is indeed difficult to imagine how it looks like from the inside. I made this quick sketch (maybe as a future reference) using the image from the wiki. Great job Lacrymosa! Just to let everyone know, the cost of the shirts will be even less t...

Sorry for double post. Here's another idea. I guess my goal with these is just trying to get something that conveys a lightcycle game. And it's the armagetronapple icon! Yeah, this is actually really cool and funny, too. The shift + esc after getting owned = lulz. The F4 instant chat after pwning = ...

Anyone else who's interested in doing mock ups of the exploded view:

I would suggest staying with a front. It's only about $1.50 more to put something on back, but whatevs. I also like graphics on shirts way more than text. Text leans too much toward those annoying saying shirts IMO. So, you don't have any designs of your own? Not even a suggestion for one? Smile I w...

Whether or not you understand how unlikely it is for legal action to be taken against the developers of Armagetron, the shirt printing business is separate. You can follow the developers when developing the software, but when you're talking about all this copyright infringement stuff you're walking ...

Here's an idea I had,... It's great. Still, it uses the Syd Mead cycle design which is a copyright infringement. However, I think it's still worth selling items with that design until a "cease and desist" letter arrives. Even LucasArts won't sue you unless you totally disregard any fair w...

Correct me if I'm wrong... But I think images that are a distinct likeness to Disney's Tron cycles cannot be used. That would constitute copyright infringement, right? No, we could print anything like that, and it doesn't matter how you create it. The legal rules say the exact image must be changed...

Re: Armagetron T-Shirts!

The primary benefit is the storefront, handling payment/logistics for us. That's what the extra charges are for, by the way. Your way of raising money, as I told you before, will require significant effort on somebody's part. It also requires paying in advance for the shirts, and if you don't sell ...

Re: Armagetron T-Shirts!

Opportunity to raise funding Elaborate. Example : If we had a one color design on the front of the shirt, and ordered 50 shirts, the per piece price would be under $5 (after tax) Price each item at $10, and we could raise $5 per shirt. CafePress? Are you serious? Can CafePress beat the price and qu...

Defaulting the semi-solid zones to fewer, transparent rectangles is extremely helpful to me. Using 0.2.8 I have to CON: zone_alpha_toggle 1 every time I play. It's a bummer, and I really admire hoop's work.
