nXtank will evoke the flexibility of design and addictive action of Xtank in a modern gaming engine.

Xtank (©1988 Terry Donahue) was an X-based strategy/action game. It consisted of the strategy elements of designing the playing field and the player's vehicle, and the action element of top-down arena combat with those vehicles. In addition, a public API was released for Xtank's AI library which allowed anyone to write their own robot AI for the game.

We intend to use a modern free 3D gaming engine to recreate these gameplay elements to appeal to the creativity of a new generation. Users will be able to design maps and vehicles which can easily be shared among the user base. We also intend add a module allowing users to customize their own AI robots to compete in the game, adding another dimension of competition.
