This is a completly 3d racing game with commercial quality, named REVO TRON! It includes a 6500 lines DirectX8 3d engine with support for advanced 3d techniques like realtime shadows and reflections. An input, sound and network module is also included.
IMPORTANT NOTE: to run the exe, you must have installed DirectX8 or higher on your system. See the readme.txt file for details. To compile the game on your system, you must have installed the DirectX SDK. You might download it at http://www.microsoft.com.
Now about the game itself: it's a Tron clone. The basic game idea of any Tron lightcycle game is that you drive a fast futuristic bike, called lightcycle. It leaves a wall where it goes, so the arena turns into a labyrinth after some time. The goal is to force the enemies to hit a wall while you should try to avoid this for yourself, of course. The last player alive is the winner. REVO TRON also invented a new game mode: the action mode. If it's switched on, you can use speedups, different weapons and shields. You'll get an item after some time which is displayed at the top-right corner of your screen. You can use this item then by pressing the space key. The action mode makes a Tron game become a real action battle!

I could not compile the program, I compiled tron.cpp, it couldnt find any of the files. but the game looks good and I look foward to playing it. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

Holy smoke, this code and game blew my pants off, This has got to be the most spectacular game i have ever seen coded here.
Word to the auther,please add more comments and helpful info to the code, to help myself.
Ever think about OpenGL!!! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
hey Mathias Kunter. hope you can help me to learn designing game engines. can you refer me some books and some websites for the purpose (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
I'd just like to let you know that this code has helped me a lot in how to structure my code. Now I know this is not the be-all-end-all of coding, nor to I treat it as such, but it has certainly given me many ideas in both engine design and general program architecture. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
I am not able to compile this game in Visual C++ Express Edition 2008. It gives me 4 errors! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
