68.40.191.129: link to new Armagetron Advanced article.

This is the [[Armagetron Advanced]] Wiki Project. It is a wiki, so you can edit most pages and add new ones, as your heart desires.

If you've noticed, the default skin for the wiki has changed. It's gone back to mediawiki default. That's because when the wiki was upgraded to the latest release of MediaWiki, the armagetronad skin was found not to work with the latest release of MediaWiki. Since I've received nothing but complaints about the armagetronad skin anyway and there's work being done (or soon to be done) on a new skin, I decided not to waste any time trying to fix it.

If you're a logged in user having problems with the armagetronad skin, go to [[Special:Preferences]] and select the monobook skin (or one of the others) to fix any problems you may be having.

68.40.191.129:

'''''Armagetron Advanced''''' is a 3D online multiplayer game modeled after the light cycle sequences from the film Tron (film).
Armagetron Advanced is licensed under version 2 of the GNU GPL.

== Playing the Game ==
=== Game Types ===
One may play:
* Local Game: Play against the AI bots or split-screen against an opponent (see below)
* Internet Game: Play versus people from all over the globe.
* LAN Game: Play against people on the Local Area Network.

The game also allows split-screen play — more than one human-player on a computer. There can be up to four players on split screen mode.

=== Game Settings ===
Armagetron Advanced is a very configurable game, however you will find these settings to be most common:
* You get points for core dumping an opponent (make him hit your trail).
* Your cycle will accelerate if you drive closer to the trails.
* A player wins the match when he surpasses a set score limit, the maximum number of rounds is surpassed, or a time limit is reached.

=== Game Modes ===
Several game modes exist:
* Death Match: You versus everyone else.
* Team Death Match: Cooperate with your teammates to win the match.
* Fortress: Capture the enemy base. This game may be played with teams or death match style.
* Pig Sty: A team death match where you try to shoot the other team's players with death zones.
* Sumo: Stay in a zone while trying to force your opponent out.
* Capture the Flag: Capture the opponents' flag and try to bring it back to your own zone.
* Race: Race to the win zone at the end of the map.
* Low/High Rubber:
** Low: Try to destroy other cycles in your traps. You can face the wall for a little bit. You don't have much rubber. You have on average 7 rubber.
** High: Try to destroy other cycles in your traps. You can face the wall for a longer time. You have on average 40 rubber.

== A Short History ==
