Tank Off leaderboard revamp, site-wide upgrades, and what's coming next

Big sprint over the last couple of weeks. Here's the full rundown.

Tank Off leaderboard — dashboard restyle

The Tank Off leaderboard at /leaderboard got a complete visual overhaul. The old table is now a proper dashboard with collapsible stat cards, a tiered ranking system, and MG-accented metrics in monospace. Mode-aware tools hide Compare and Simulate when you're in basic XP mode so the interface only shows what's relevant.

Country flags were also hardened — the widget now rejects invalid codes (XX, mojibake) instead of rendering blank squares.

Embed player — collapsible footer chrome

The Kart Wars and Tank Off embed players now have a chevron toggle on the footer that collapses the MG brand bar so players get a clean frame before launching fullscreen. State is per-session, defaults to expanded. Built with CSS max-height/opacity so the game title stays in the DOM for SEO — it's never display:none.

/vip supporter page is live

/vip is the new home for Patreon supporter perks. It's currently display-only with a blur effect — a "Unlock on Patreon" prompt sits over the locked content. The page is OAuth-ready for Phase 3 when we wire the Patreon API to reveal real tier content.

Status update — September 2026

• Air Wars 3 remains playable through the current CrazyGames-hosted build; a new CG-SDK-free WebGL export is required before Martian Games can self-host it.
• The Tank Off Steam version remains in development, with no release date currently announced.
• Pretty /news/{slug} URLs and the /games category filters are now live.
