Armagetron Advanced!

Post by Tank Program »

Our very own Forums Devel Team are proud to announce that we have aquired a new sourceforge project called Armagetron Advanced to which we will direct our Armagetron efforts due to lack of contact with z-man. Please check it out!

Nice. Good for armagetron too. My iBook is great for armagetron, keyboard is close to screen, also Macs are better for armagetron because Microsoft keys you actually have to PUSH down on them, Apple keys you barly touch and it works. It rules, thats how I kick so much butt in so little time! :lol: 8)

While you may prefer the "mooshy" keyboard while playing the game over a tactile "clicky" keyboard, realize that unlike the Macintosh there are a wide variety of manufactures of keyboards for PC's. You can buy either. Indeed, you can even buy them as a third-party keyboard for your Macintosh.

My keyboard is tactile. I can't stand a spongie keyboard, heh. There have been plenty of times when it has bit me in the arse while playing, though. Plenty.

I agree... I like a nice 'click' sound on my keyboards.

If i play on my laptop, the keys get stuck sometimes if you don't press it perpendicular enough ... left, boom (against wall) instead of left, left, left, right, wooosh
