Armagetron on c't cover CD

Post by Z-Man »

Some people already know about this, and it's nothing unusual that our work lands on some magazine cover; only this time, it's on one of the magazines I actually read :)

Attached is the text article and the screenshot with messed up colors attached. For those not understanding German, they say our bots are smart. Mwahaha.

Article text. First game they mention. Yay for picking a name and genre that both start with "A" :)

Talking about a limit of 22 people is somewhat inaccurate, though. If you play alone against bots you can only get 21 of them IIRC, but there's no “real” limit for network games. Of course the player ID has to fit into a 16 bit signed integer…

It's great to read something about it in a magazine, though :-)

EDIT: why the hell does arma only get a windows logo?!
EDIT 2: hmm, that goes for a lot of games. Maybe they ran out of space on the CD, but it would have been nice of them if they had marked games that are available for linux, even if the linux version is not included on the CD.
There's no place like ::1

Teaming up to take advantage of Arma's scoring isn't 'smart'?

Oh, BTW, they seem to have enough room for one or two more icons.
