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.
