0.2.7.1 is more buggy

There are more configuration items, however. Getting the settings just right takes more experimentation.

The source to build the client and server are both the same. Just add --disable-glout when you configure (assuming you are on *nix)

I think it would be a good idea to set sometype of 'world sphere' effect. But don't make the grid rounded. Just make it so if you go far enough you will eventually meet your opponents again. Lol it sounds kinda weird but it is very catchy.

Like Ultima used to do it? Where if you went too far north, you wound up at the south pole? Heh. That's a neat effect, but I'd rather have it laid out on an actual sphere. We could probably do it without having to go to a 3d model internally. At least, seems like it should be possible mathematically, right?

Yep. The closest thing to a sphere (while still keeping 90 degree turns and the rest of the game physics) would be a cube.

The "current beta" that gave a buggy server is probably no longer current. beta2 and 3 had some problems, beta4(.2) seems to be pretty safe.

why didnt you say so this is planned for the far future check back in a year or two(most likely more) ((<connector>))

search around the forums and at least read some of this or skim through it http://forums.armagetronad.net/viewtopi ... 75&start=0

the world(earth {nothing to do with armagetron}) is really flat but it appears round because it loops around like pac man... rawr

Nope, you got a torus

But that's not the point. Really, the other thread said it all already: we'll be working on it in full generality.
