		The idea of Tron 2.0 was originally explored as a movie concept, but it was eventually decided to make it as a game; rumors were that if the game sold well, there might be a better chance for it to be made into a movie.

	Disney's TRON
		The story of TRON starts in the fall of 1975 when a young animation artist called Steven Lisberger witnessed a demonstration of computer generated imagery during a gathering of Boston-area filmmakers.
		The TRON crew was asked to create a two-minute demonstration of how the finished product would look and equipped with a laughable budget they set out to achieve the impossible.
		During this time the story of the character TRON evolved as well and changed from a simple 'electronic being in a football videogame' to a resistance fighter in an electronic world populated by other beings representing information and programs.

		Tron’s images intoxicate; this computer world, depicted in the vocabulary of computer graphics that are highly contemporary, is a deserved dog-ear in the history of cinema.
		Tron, simply, is such a complete vision absent any references, both forward and past (contrary to Lisberger’s admittance of Star Wars as an influence), that it stands alone.

		What the makers of Tron didn’t realize is that you can’t make a whole movie anchored in just a bunch of visual effects, the overall result being far too much time spent panning across CGI landscapes, showing us just how cool the graphics can be, while the plot goes nowhere.
		An ironic fact is that the videogame Tron, based on the movie, which let you play many of the games from the movie, I think did far better than the movie itself, earning money in the arcades for years and years.
		The world of Tron remains much as it did in the 80’s that spawned it, a neon conglomeration of buildings and people that is both fascinating to behold and a little tough on the eyes.

		The big question now is whether or not this PC gaming title based off of a 20 year old cult classic film can withstand the scrutiny of two decades worth of progress in both the film and gaming industries.
		Tron 2.0 is extremely fast paced shooter and very innovative with its use of weaponry (known as 'Primitives' in the game).
		Not only did the designers of Tron 2.0 effectively re-create the sound effects featured in the classic film, they also enlisted the aid of the Wendy Carlos (the creator and composer of original film soundtrack) to once again work her magic with the musical score found in the game.

		The backstory is important, because TRON 2.0 constantly refers back to the film and updates us on what's happened to the characters over the past 20 years.
		TRON 2.0's gameplay is heavy on exploration, with a good dose of combat and a few puzzles thrown in for good measure.
		There are four base weapons (including TRON's iconic disc), and upgrades for these weapons -- as well as armor and special abilities -- can be found throughout the world in the form of "subroutines", which are stored in your personal library until you choose to activate them.

		Tron is a bit unusual for a first-person shooter in that the primary weapon isn't a gun; it's a disc.
		The light cycles are the signature vehicles of Tron, and they're available in several of the game's multiplayer modes, including overRIDE, which is a deathmatch-like mode where players can switch between running around on foot and transforming to light cycle mode.

		Tron 2.0 includes several very unique additions to its standard gameplay, all of which are controlled by a very intuitive, rounded interface.
		Weapon switching is a bit tricky in Tron 2.0; as you might expect, your disc is your primary weapon, but if you throw it and then decide to switch weapons, you're out of luck - you are pretty much helpless (save dodging enemy attacks) until the disc returns.
		It's the levels that are the most visually impressive in Tron 2.0; they're large, very imaginative, and span the whole range of colors.

	Tron 2.0 Review - PC
		TRON 2.0 takes place 20 years after the original where Dr. Alan Bradley’s son Jet (Alan was one of Flynn’s friends in the original movie played by Bruce Boxleitner) goes to his Dad’s office after hearing Dr. Bradley in distress while on the phone with him.
		TRON instead has you finding abilities like higher jumping, armor, stealth, and power increases in the form of nodes that can be seen in parts of the various stages as colored blocks.
		The graphics in TRON 2.0 were also nothing short of great to me, and while it retains the look of the original film, the changes to the world size and areas that you will visit make it look like you have stepped into the same vision from the movie only 20 years later.

		Tron 2.0 retains the look and feel of the film’s environment, courtesy of the “glow effect” developed by graphic card maker Nvidia, but also introduces many of the technological advances of the past 20 years.

	Tron -- Review by Roger Ebert
		The interior of a computer is a fine and private place, but none, I fear, do there embrace, except in TRON, a dazzling movie from Walt Disney in which computers have been used to make themselves romantic and glamorous.
		And they integrate their human actors and the wholly imaginary worlds of Tron so cleverly that I never, ever, got the sensation that I was watching some actor standing in front of, or in the middle of, special effects.
		TRON has been conceived and written with a knowledge of computers that it mercifully assumes the audience shares.

		The basic sci-fi story of Tron, the movie, was a most original idea in its time (back in 1982, that is).
		The storyline in TRON 2.0 follows the life of one Jet, son of Alan Bradley - who's responsible for creating the Tron program and the technology that allows humans to be digitized directly into the world of the computer.
		There are numerous aspects of the game that cling strongly to the Tron world, so a lot of gamers may find the experience frustrating due to a lack of common action FPS gameplay elements.

		TRON is a trust region Newton method for the solution of large bound-constrained optimization problems.
		TRON uses a gradient projection method to generate a Cauchy step, a preconditioned conjugate gradient method with an incomplete Cholesky factorization to generate a direction, and a projected search to compute the step.
		The use of projected searches, in particular, allows TRON to examine faces of the feasible set by generating a small number of minor iterates, even for problems with a large number of variables.
