Hello to all

This game is based on the mythical motocycle of tron, the gameplay is structured solely on multiplayer for up to 4 players.
For the multiplayer communication I have not used the direcx, but I have built a communication protocol by using the socket, named SockBike alias Socket motorbike.
There is also an opportunity to challenge in a race with a path, but is still being developed.
In the game I also included a power that allows you to destroy the wall opponent.

I hope you like it

looks cool, so basically, it's a Lightcycles game for 4 players online?

Your signature has been erased by a mod - 340 KB is a little big don't you think?

The video looked neat. I would like to see a top down perspective of the entire map, however. So that we can have that neat behind the vehicle perspective, but also have a mini-map on the side showing where all the walls and opponents are.

Also, the idea of powerups is a very good idea, for instance, a sheild power up that allows your vehicle to pass through a wall unaffected. Or a mine powerup, where you can drop it anywhere, and a huge square wall appears in five seconds. Or a laser that you can shoot to eliminate your opponents with fire power. Or maybe a powerup that allows you to fly for short durations of time.

It would be cool to see your game go above and beyond the original tron concept (kinda lame and basic imo).

For now, in the game, I inserted a powerup that allows those who take to launch a missile against a walls of Energy's opponent.
Communication for hours I tried only in LAN with four players.
The game ended, only that the arrangements race still is not complete.
Do I have still a bit of debugging and then load on the site for download

Thanks for comments

Might I ask, how you are building the cycle walls?

I know that when you turn the cycle, that becomes the one side, and the other side is at the tail of your cycle. But are you adjusting the size of one box per wall segment, or drawing lots of smaller but equal sized boxes to make up a wall segment?

I think the idea of combat is great. I've always envisioned a Tanks vs Cycles version.
