Evan Burchard Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Hi everyone, The FightMagicRun game jam for this weekend has a theme of... drumroll... "2 Player" As always, there is a $100 prize for the winner, and games are judged on their TACO (theme, ambition, completeness, and originality). It starts now and runs for 48 hours. To register or submit a game, head over this way: http://fimaru.com/2-player Hope to see you there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHermit Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 This theme is brutal. Time to learn how to do synchronous multiplayer over HTML5! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Burchard Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 This theme is brutal. Time to learn how to do synchronous multiplayer over HTML5! I heard some people wanted a challenge There are a few ways you could go too. You don't necessarily need two separate computers with sockets and real-time and so on...- You can have one player on the wasd keys and one on the arrow keys (or have different goals/tap regions). - You can take turns on the same computer.- Browsers can store state if you can trust both people to stay connected and aren't worried about cheating.- If real-time isn't a concern, you can store state somewhere else and create a correspondence game of some sort.- You can make a game featuring a second player character (mario is missing, Luigi's mansion)- Probably a bunch of other things I'm not thinking of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHermit Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Yes, this is all true, but I'm a masochist Gave up on trying to do realtime though. I'm doing a sort of strategy game thing with player matchups and a lobby, so hopefully I get to actually work on the game and not just the infrastructure before the weekend is up.

TheHermit Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Alright, done! 2-player topic, 2-player team this time. Keanen Wendler-Shaw and I did a multiplayer strategy game called 'Cascade'. This really does require two (human) players, so bring a friend! There's a lobby, but I won't be there for at least 8 hours... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
