GLtron is an open source computer game based on the light cycle portion of the movie Tron. It is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL) and is available on multiple platforms.
The aim of the game is to be the last player riding. Cycles can be boosted with a limited turbo and the game artificial intelligence is hard, with the harder difficulty settings tough to win.
The game plays using the keyboard to control the vehicle and the mouse to control the camera position, players can out ride competitors across the geometric grid.
There are a large range of screen resolutions to choose from so that the game can be played on slow computers and take advantage of faster machines.
