Armahacktron

This place is dedicated to trying to document the hacks that have been done to Armagetron Advanced.
Groundpig started it all off with his hacks that included shooting, zombies, styball and capture the Flag.
We have built upon his work adding the ability to produce decent ladders, on the fly zone spawning, extra log files and many more.
This is the version of armagetron that runs Crazy Tronners Wild Fortress.

To merge features of Armahacktron back into the main armagetron repository (at LINK launchpad.net). CT_voodoo and [User:joda.bot] created this feature list. The list also contains actions to be taken for each feature. If we missed a feature or you think the feature should go to another branch. Please correct the information here.

the extra features are :
