NAME

       armagetronad - a 3D Tron-like high speed game

SYNOPSIS

       armagetronad  [-h,  --help]  [-v,  --version]  [--doc]  [-f,  --fullscreen]  [-w,  --window,  --windowed]
       [--fastforward] [--benchmark] [--record] [--playback]

DESCRIPTION

       The rules are simple: you ride a lightcycle (a kind of motorbike that can only turn 90 degrees at a time,
       leaves  a  wall  behind  and cannot be stopped). Avoid running into a wall. Make your opponent run into a
       wall.  This idea comes from the 1982 Disney movie "Tron".

       One thing is different than in other Tron clones: you can accelerate.  However, there  is  a  catch.  The
       only way to accelerate is to drive close to player walls. This allows for some interesting tactics. Every
       time you make a turn, you lose 5% of your speed -- so don't be too nervous, speed is your  only  resource
       against other players!

       First  thing  you  shold  do  is  go  into the "Player Menu" to set your name and your keyboard and mouse
       configuration. Then, go into the "Game Menu" and start a single player game against one AI opponent  (the
       game mode does not really matter here). Then, get some friends together and try the multiplayer modes!

       SHIFT-ESC is the "boss key" and quits Armagetron as fast as possible.
