Seawar!
Game 4 of the 20 Games Challenge!
https://20_games_challenge.gitlab.io/challenge/
---------------------------------------------------------
Far to the North, the ships of the Tauran Empire do battle with the Runic Fleet. Whoever comes out on top will have control over the waves!
---------------------------------------------------------
This game is modelled after 'Spacewar!'!
On desktop, use W to move forward, E to fire, and A/D to turn your ship left and right. (If playing locally - on the same keyboard, the controls for P2 are I, U, J, and L.)
For this game I also added a mode for battling an AI opponent - and the capacity for multiplayer! It is only available on the downloadable desktop version, and requires you to either be on the same network, or use a program like Hamachi.
Ships are gradually pulled into the whirlpool, and are destroyed if they reach the middle. Also, this game has screen wrapping!
(Hit M to mute if the music gets too grating!)
---------------------------------------------------------
ONLINE:
So, to play the 'Online' multiplayer you'll need to download the Windows version (which should be above somewhere?). Very dodgy downloading an exe file from a stranger but you can trust me!
Once both players have downloaded this, you'll need to be on the same network - either by having both your devices connected to the same router, or using a program to create a virtual LAN.
Once you've done this, find out the IP address of the host (Can be found by typing ipconfig into the command console, looking in your virtual LAN, and probably other ways). Have them click Host in the Online tab, have the other player enter the IP and click Join, then either of you can click 'Start Game'!

Thanks to the user 'Fenderdevlog' on GodotShaders for the shader effect used for the whirlpool. And for the user 'FinePointCGI' on Youtube for their help with the multiplayer features.
