Hello Grid People, Users coming from Armagetron Advanced 0.2.8 and new users were unhappy about the addition of the tutorial-like 'press X to turn' messages. And they were right, they were quite obnoxious. We toned them down now, made them repeat less often if you choose to follow them, and they all go away at once if you enter the keyboard layout menu. Almost all. The one pointing to the ingame menu is unaffected. Also, the opening game against a single AI has been modified a bit with a smaller arena and finite trails, that should make it less frustrating; you no longer end up separated from the AI, waiting who will survive longer. Because those changes affect new users and we expect their influx to reduce in the coming weeks, these changes are now published a bit early so as many as possible can benefit from them. Full patch notes below:
Changes since 0.2.9.0:
New Features
- Make SIZE_ and SPEED_FACTOR floating point instead of integer (#20)
- Do not show a players own IP on the client (#27)
- Make playback optional so recordings can be more easily played back (#37)
- Steam on Windows: Add playback registry keys so .aarec files automatically playback with a doubleclick (#38)

with others in an inescapable arena. The last survivor wins.
Focus is firmly on online play. Pick a server that sounds fun from the server browser, hop in, stay and play there for as long as you like with the same people. Online, you will find many variations of the core gameplay principle. There are other objectives than mere survival. In Fortress Mode, two teams face each other. Each team owns a Fortress Zone and needs to defend it while trying to conquer the enemy teams' Fortress. In Sumo Mode, everyone needs to stay inside a shrinking circle to stay alive.
The game supports custom maps (sadly without an editor) and just about every gameplay variable can be tweaked to your, or more likely, the server owner's heart content. Speed, map size, trail length and timeouts are just the start. Even the rigid right angle turn rule can be bent!
Retroycles is the Steam version of the open source game Armagetron Advanced, the almost only game of its kind to stay a bit relevant for twenty years.
