This has been the tagline of Armagetron, since, well, a very long time, and is probably the
shortest and most accurate description possible. Tron was an arcade game based on the movie
of the same name, release by Disney in 1982. The original game consisted of 4 sub-games, the

<p>
- Development continues of course! 0.2.8.0 is en-route, every day bigger and better features are
- being discussed and of course bugs are being fixed. Remember the infamous wall bug? Gone now!
+ Development continues in many directions. The (hopefully) final stable 0.2.8.x release is now in
+ beta testing. Security releases will be the only updates. This is to make way for new features that
+ we've been working on the last few years, including new and improved zones (different shapes!) and

<h3>
- The Future

- The upcoming release, 0.2.8.0, contains multiple bug fixes, restoring gameplay
- to as it was originally intended. But, it also contains enhancements multiplying the possibilities.
- Why play in a box? Play in a cross, an octagon or even in a hexagon flower. Don't just turn at 90
- degress, turn at 60, 120, or any other angle you can imagine. Looking farther ahead, don't just
- play in a standard arena, play in a arena disguised as a park! A castle! Anything you can imagine!
- There's even much, much more! Plus, something you thought of not getting done? Don't hesitate to
- volunteer a suggestion on the forums, or if you're any good at programming, write it yourself!
