TronCycles is an open-source game written in C++, using devkitPPC, GRRLIB and technik's Revolution Engine. It's based off of the light-cycle sequence in the movie TRON. TronCycles started as a homebrew project for the PSP and was originally coded in LUA. As I tried to move it over to C++, I came across many limitations due to the PSP's insufficient hardware. So I decided to rewrite the game for Wii instead. If you've ever played a light-cycle game (e.g. Armagetron), you know how fun and addictive light-cycle racing can be.

I wrote a semi-working 2D demo using GRRLIB, but I've discontinued the 2D version to make way for the 3D version, and hope to have a Beta release soon. Currently, I'm trying to figure out how specific data is sent to the accelerometers, for use in the Tilt controls to be implemented after the initial release. Eventually, there were be a settings menu that will allow you to switch the controls between using the D-Pad and using Tilt control. I believe this will make the game a bit more realistic and accurate to the way the cycles were controlled in the movie.

Features

The Gameplay is simple: destroy your opponents by crashing them into lightcycle walls or map walls. Try not to crash yourself! The options menu will include the ability to customize the color of your lightcycle and it's trail.
