TRON Legacy is still one of my favorite movies and basically any mention of it automatically makes the Daft Punk soundtrack start playing in my head.

Now there’s a tiny but amazing little game based on the original TRON’s lightcycles that you can play entirely via SSH. It’s fully multiplayer and works with your WASD keys.

SSHTron is open-source and was built over just 20 hours at a hac -day called Brickhack in Rochester, New York.

All you have to do to start playing the lovely ASCII game is open up a terminal and copy in `ssh sshtron.zachlatta.com’ to get your own lightcycle.
