Level editor online!
Tue 20-Dec-2011
Today the level editor was added to the game and is accessible from the main menu. It's fairly straight forward to use, and the in game help explains exactly how to use the editor.
When you save a map it is saved locally to your computer, and you can select it when you are hosting a game. Soon there'll be the ability to upload your creations to a central database of maps which anyone can play and rate.
Other updates include:
Fixed the crash
Wed 09-Nov-2011

User accounts and mouse aiming
Mon 07-Nov-2011
A significant update has been released, the two biggest changes being user accounts and the addition of aiming with the mouse.
Getting an account means all of your statistics are tracked and can be compared with other players. The only things needed to set up an account are your chosen username and password. Achievements and global leaderboards for kills, round wins etc will be added soon.
Getting an account is optional, you can play as a guest to get right into it.
The option to aim with the mouse has also been added. This means your tanks turret will aim independently of your tank, directly at your mouse. Your tanks direction is controlled the same as before.
Other smaller updates:
