Py2Play WARNING !!! DUE TO SECURITY PROBLEM, NETWORK SUPPORT HAS BEEN DISABLED. Py2Play is a peer-to-peer network game engine -- It means that no server is needed to play. Only (identical) clients are used ! A small demo is included. To play on a single local computer, launch ./startdemo_local1 for the first player, THEN ./startdemo_local2 and ./startdemo_local3 for the following. To play on a real network, use the ./startdemo script as following: - ./startdemo --name your_name to create a new game - ./startdemo --name your_name --parrain host to join a game played by someone at "host" (IP address or host name). "host" can be the host of any player; not necessarily the first one (the one which as initiated the game). There is also options for changing the default port's address. In the demo, character are represented by letter (the first letter of your name), and the "#" is a NPC (a "monster") played by the computer. You can use the cursor keys to move around, and the space key to create a block at your position. To go to another level, just move out of the screen. There is currently no real goal in this demo game; it is just here for testing purpose. Distribution uses the Python distutils tools. Install it with (as root): cd Py2Play-XXX python ./setup.py install Py2Play is Free Software and is available under the GNU GPL. Enjoy the peer 2 peer gaming !
