New game: Tron - frantic multiplayer retro action
November 19, 2021 [Games, JavaScript, Programming, Smolpxl, Tech]My newest game is out now on Smolpxl Games - Tron:
Play at smolpxl.gitlab.io/tron.
It's a frantic multiplayer retro pixellated thingy playable in your browser. Try to stay alive longer than everyone else!
This version allows many players (up to 16 if you can manage it), and is quite pure in its implementation.
There are bots to play against, and you can gather your friends around a keyboard to play together.
Part of the motivation for writing this game was to test my new smolpxl-remote remote-play system, but this is not enabled yet, so watch this space...
I love playing games with other people - preferably at least 3 other people. In theory you could have 8 players around a keyboard playing this - send me a picture if you try!
One feature I worked on in the Smolpxl library for this game: saving configuration to local storage (and asking permission to do so). I ended up with a very ugly hack to do this, so a bit more work is needed before I merge it into the library.
