The game has come a long way from when it started as a small Java Swing game, growing to over 83,000 lines of code as of version v1.5. Last year for this occasion, I made a video covering the history of the game, which you can find here:
Since then, the game has gained a powerful tank editor in v1.4 along with the new arcade mode in v1.5. Here's to another few years of Tanks! (And don't worry, there are still more updates coming!).
