In a few days time.. Friday the 8th. I want to run a Tiny Tank
Multiplayer test. I need about 8 people to login and play, a few more
would be nice, but 8 is a minimum for a solid test.

I will email the client to you if you want to help. Just post your email
address here.

The test will be for packet loss, and basic fluid play. For the most part
its working atm, but I want to have a few more game rules and things in
place before a real test is done. I have the 5 weapons in, and they are
working as expected.

Things not in yet, but I expect to have in on Friday.

-Kills. Right now when your health is <= 0 you just run around as usual
with 0 health on the bar. I plan to add respawn penalties for dying.

-Destroyable Scenery. Its coded into the server, but the client / server
comms for this are not yet in. The idea is to have bricks in place that
have health.. You can destroy them to get by, or destroy them as another
tank is moving over them (bridge) and the server respawns them after so
long.

-The ctf system.. ATM no flag capturing is in place. Just team killing. I
dont know if this will be in by Friday, but I hope so.

Thats it.. it will be one map, no rotations just a basic test for a few
hours max.


Thank you to anyone who signs up, I dont have anything to offer except my
thanks. Tiny Tanks is a free game anyway, so I cant offer a free copy or
anything like that.

Well, evening here. How about 5pm central? If thats a problem then we
can vote on the best window depending on where everyone is from.. Im here
all day, I just cant leave the test server up all night. I have to work on
it after the test.
