New in 2.0! Online play!
Just click "Play Online" and you can chat with other players and create/join games.
Other updates include a bit better AI and bug fixes.
2.7: Graphics glitches fixed, playable again. Also fixed bugs in hitchecking which was caused by the same bug as the graphical glitches.
2.6: Teleport works properly again.
2.5b: A problematic bug snuck in on 2.5 - Fixed.
2.5: 2 new weapons, you can now change map generator settings, added "shoot quotes" and explosions and a bugfix.

Notes:
You can make the widget wider (max 1002 pixels) if you don't like scrolling horizontally.
If the widget gives you a gray screen and nothing happens, try changing the zoom with + or -. This should be fixed now, but let me know if you still encounter this.
2.2 fixed the hovering tank and invisible ground bug. I added a new check but it might be a bit slower. Please report if you get much slowdown in this version.

The explosions from the bomber rounds stay there until the entire round is done firing - is there a way to make it more realistic and have the explosions dissapear immediately after hitting the ground?
This game is actually really fun. I'd look forward to seeing improvements such as penguinator's Bomber suggestion.
It is possible to make them disappear, but that would quite likely slow down the game quite much... but I'm looking into it. One option would be to remove the explosions completely.
I've been updating the server a bit... There was a bunch of american 13-year olds flooding and causing problems so I added some tools (kick and ban) for getting rid of them. I banned a few of 'em but the banlist is empty again and I will periodically empty it so one mistake won't cost you your "life".
hey, I tried playing the game today, but it seems a bit messed up when I try to shoot... whats up with that?
Online play? Single play? Both work for me, I tried. Although I know that the online game server has some bugs like "ghost" rooms but I have no reports of them causing any bugs related to shooting or such.

I dont know how this game work?? Really don't... Something really strange is happening with the terrain all the time - perhaps it is some bug?
Hi. This widget is buggy in Opera 9.20. If you want to play it, you must download an older release of Opera. I'm researching the source of the bug so hopefully I can fix it soon.
It seems a lot of widgets have that problem. I can't remember at the moment which but I tried 1 and had the same problem. So maybe it is something with the browser?
Rejoice! Finally an update which fixes the graphics and hit check bugs, making the game playable again!
this game is quite glitchy
An unfortunate hard disk crash took the internet game server permanently offline. Also lost was the only copy of the source code of the server, so it's *very* permanently offline.
Sry, but how to contol this? I hit my keyboard an clicked the mouse but nothing happend...
alright, this would be an interesting game, but first: where are the tanks? it seems that the fire comes from the sky, and not from the ground. what are the controls? i've pressed about every button, and nothing has happened.
Click. that easy.
By the way, how do I play online when nobody ever is online?
do u need a keyboard because i am using an archos 5?
hey, can you send me the code for this widget?
How must i start / Control this game?
