Bug#158975: RFA: armagetron -- A 3D Tron-like high speed game.

["Marcelo E. Magallon" <mmagallo@debian.org>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

I'm looking for a new maintainer for armagetron.  There's still an
unresolved bug on alpha, but other than that, the package is fine.
Development upstream is a bit slow nowadays.

    Package: armagetron
    Priority: optional
    Section: games
    Description: A 3D Tron-like high speed game.
     A 3D Tron-like high speed game.  The rules are simple: you ride a
     light cycle (a kind of motorbike that can only turn 90 degrees at a
     time, leaves a wall behind and cannot be stopped) and have to avoid
     running into walls while at the same time you have to try to get
     your opponent to run into them.
     .
     The idea is based on the Disney movie from 1982 called "Tron".  If
     you ever wanted to take a try at one of those speed demons features
     in the movie, this is your chance.  Of all the Tron clones out
     there, I think one is the one that comes closest to the feeling the
     movie tries to express.  This is in part thanks to the
     sophisticated camera motions, in part to the superb modelling work
     and in part to the fabulous sound effects.  To add some extra
     fascination into the game, unlike to other Tron clones, in
     armagetron you can accelerate.  Alas, there's no accelerate button.
     If you want to drive fast, you have to drive good -- and really
     really close to the walls.
     .
     Armagetron can be played against AI opponents, against other humans
     over the network, or a mixture of both.
