Tankolini Napierdolki is a browser-based multiplayer tank battle game with a retro Tetris-inspired aesthetic, where tanks fight on a 64×64 grid. The game features meme sound effects that add to the chaotic and humorous atmosphere of every match.
When there are not enough real players online, bots automatically fill the rooms so matches can still start and stay active. Players can create and share their own custom maps using the built-in map editor.
The game supports playing for real money through TON cryptocurrency, where participants buy tickets, compete for a share of the prize pool, and the platform takes a commission. Structured tournaments and freerolls are available in a format similar to those found in online poker rooms.
The project and its technical details, including pathfinding algorithms for bots and the overall architecture, have been covered in articles on Habr:

The idea for the game originated back in 2014 while I was still a student, and a fully working version already existed at that time and was actively tested, but due to various circumstances and a move to Montenegro the servers were abandoned and the cloud eventually deleted the code, so development restarted from 2020 and continued with long pauses.
