Turtle Arena 0.5.2 has been released. It features a new HUD, some graphic improvements, and various bugfixes. Changed master server address to use a running dpmaster (dpmaster.deathmask.net), now you can host and find online games easily. Give it a try, beat up some bots today!

The next release, 0.5.3, is planned to focus on improving the player animation system. (See the RoadMap for more details on future plans.)
