Multiplayer Tron in the terminal

Kind of frustrating because of how buggy it is. Sometimes your line doesn't draw filled pieces (there will be holes), the keys don't respond quickly or predictably enough to drive in single-width corridors. Random artifacts or people spawning in the borders and immediately dying. (off by one?!)

Indeed. It's a really fun idea but I found it just too laggy to be playable.

Hi friends, apologies for the lag. Bit of a surprise to have this frontpage on HN.

Currently increasing the size of the server. Should be back online and playable in ~10 minutes.

I am taking great enjoyment from imagining the expression on your face when you saw the server logs earlier on.
