Multiplayer Network Prototype

This project is a technical prototype used to validate network functionality, not a full demo or final game.

Client launches the game and clicks “Join”, entering the host’s IP.  Additionally ensure sure port 7777 is open and that the firewall allows the prototype. That's it! Now start playing. 

Prototype Good to Know'

• Player 1 Host gets priority turn first. Player 2 Remote Client can only observe the current player' actions until their turn is over & vice versa. 
• Turn over is executed only when the current player has selected 'Done' on each of their squad members 'Engange Menu' options.
• You have 'Move', 'Attack', 'Status' and 'Done' options per squad member.
• You are NOT locked into Attacking or Moving in a particular order. However, when you select one of these two options, you will be required to follow through with it.
• When the opposing player, or yourself has no more squad memebers left, the 'game' is over. You will have to hard quit the prototype (easily enough done).
• Squads are locked into spawn at 6 members each. 
• Player 1 will always have Melee equipped squad members. 
• Player 2 will always have Ranged.
• Each squad is locked into partially randomly Levelled & Equipped.
