Maybe we should get some screenshots to further explain these games. Roulette makes much more sense once you have seen it. The file upload is off so they would need to be served externally.

Try again, I think I just enabled them. I want them enabled, though. :) --Lucifer (no idea about signatures, check the MediaWiki docs


Hmm, I managed to upload a file. It's File:Dbindforweaks.png. But I'm sysop, and I've already noticed at least one thing that works differently for sysops without telling you that it's working differently. :( --Lucifer


Here is the syntax to make a thumbnail

I love this MediaWiki thing. :) --Lucifer


I'll make a short recording for each of them if youd like, then post the download somewhere and you can put a clickable "Example" thing there? Or ill get screenshots. I'll check for your reply and do it tomorow though, im goin to sleep now.

I guess that was written by TnA? Hard to tell, no name given.

Um, screenshots, please. Nobody should *have* to start up armagetron to see. You could make movies, too, and link to them using screenshots, but the movies should be mpeg or something, not armagetronad's own format. --Lucifer


It wasn't me, must have been TnA. --nemostultae


Alright ill take those screenshots shortly.

Ahh, how can you play with the graphics like that?

-- nemostultae


It's easy when you get 70 FPS more, and you get used to it trust me. lol

-- TiTnAsS


Luckily pictures can be updated, so if you'd like to take the same rough pictures but with better graphics, you can update them. :) I'd personally prefer no moviepack shots unless you're showing the moviepack, though. The default green grid with the cool wall is a common frame of reference for all.

--Lucifer


I'll update em when i get a server full of people who want to play these games. These will do for now though..

Luke, is there any reason you wiped out the Mazing section? It's completly different from inner roulette (which ive never heard of O_o) and if anything you should put a divider at the roulette section for inner roulette then leave the Mazing section in tact. Mazes are the most common grid game you see -_-..

Luci: nemo is updating the pics, he just got done taking the SS's

It's probably just luke making shit up, again. We need a mazing section that's not called "Inner Roulette". We can have "Inner Roulette", I don't really care (I've never heard of it either), but there needs to be a mazing section. That topic is probably big enough to deserve its own page.

I agree, mazing should have it's own section. I have never heard of Inner Roulette. I will move it over (unless someone is doing it right now as I type...)

OT: Nice signature Lucifer
