Fasttrack

From Armagetron

Fasttrack is a game mode in Armagetron Advanced. It is an individual player game where each player tries to score as many points as possible by killing their opponents. Fasttrack gets its name from the high acceleration on cycle walls, and can be played with up to 8 total players.

Physics

Fasttrack's claim to fame is the extremely high acceleration that a player experiences when grinding on an enemy's wall. The rubber is set to 150, which even at 50 cycle speed is very high. The cycle delay (the shortest possible length in time between two turns) is relatively low, which allows for a lot of turns in a small amount of space. The combination of these settings makes killing both very easy and very hard depending on who you are facing, as the high speed will drain all of a players rubber in under a second, while the low cycle delay makes survival, even in the tightest of spaces, a possibility.
