Armagetron is a really fun Open Source game. We play 16 player on the School's LAN,
but we have to re-install everytime, it would be great if we could save our playernames, hot keys etc on our thumbdrives.
I don't think there is much (if any) programming needs to be done cause it already allows you to install to a thumbdrive.

This would be awesome. May I also request a portable Armegetron kind sirs? There definetly needs to be more portable games. Good and free ones especially.

Regretably that is around two years old... It's based off version 2.6 and it was designed for a floppy. (The quality of some stuff was decreased to fit on the floppy.) USB flash drives don't have that limit though. So... Any talented programmers willing to take on the challenge?
How hard could it be? If someone could put it on a floppy then a usb flash drive shouldn't be that hard...
im going to take a look into this. i made an extracted version of counter-strike 1.6 to work using batch files, i bet i can make this work. ill look into it soon.
EDIT:
i looked into the registry, and i am unable to find where armegetron saves its config. sorry guys.

Or try running RegMon (http://sysinternals.com/) while running to see where it does.

i tried out regmon, armagetron saves it config common places such as HKLM/Hardware/DeviceMap/
it looks like the source code needs to be tweaked. possibly having it save settings to .../Software/Armagetron instead of a million of places.

HKLM\Hardware\DeviceMap?
What a place for a program to save its settings. That's just ASKING to crash the whole operating system.
So... Any luck guys?
i tried it and it seemed to work without any tweaks?
This was done at http://www.framakey.org/Portables/PortableArmagetron
However, they used a French translation of the game
EDIT:
you can set the game to english mode
