A simple battle-arena with a non-moving screen so that the entire game is on the screen at any given time.

Important note:
The master server is subject to not being up 24/7, when it is down nobody will be able to play. You can go into settings and edit your binds and if predictors show up, but the client will fail to connect. I'm usually up at 2pm-2am GMT+0 (weird sleep pattern). If you're unable to connect at 6pm-12am GMT+0, leave a note as it's either a bug or I forgot to put the server up.

Additionally, if the game crashes a lot, put this batch file (windows only) into the same place and run it through that:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13281778/LD31.bat
When it crashes you can provide the error so that I can pinpoint the cause and fix it.

Controls:
- WASD to move around and jump (rebindable, down does nothing)
- Left mouse to fire (hold to charge, peaks at 0.5s then drops to 80%)
- Right mouse to launch (same mechanics as firing)
- Click anywhere when dead to respawn at that location

Tips:
- Damage dealt is based on the velocity of the shot fired, shoot downwards for more damage
- The velocity of the shot fired ignores your own velocity when you get hit, try to dodge entirely instead of reducing damage
- Headshots deal double damage, aim for the face
- Fired shots (and the predictor) take your own speed into account, move towards your target when firing for more damage
- Launch upwards and jump at the same time for a super jump
- Launch upwards in mid-air to get higher
- Shots pierce, try to line up as many enemies as you can

Known issues:
- The game doesn't start because it can't find the main class, no idea how to fix that
- Client refuses to connect, either the master server is down (more likely) or there's something wrong your end (less likely)
- Bumping your head removes all lateral velocity, not a major issue
- Launching down through a platform you're standing on makes you go through it, not removing as it's useful and fun
- When falling and near the ground (about 5px), you instantly drop down the remaining distance, leaving it as fixing it could remove going through platforms
- Players float 1px above the ground, not fixing, artifact of the collision code
- Game crashes a few seconds after starting a game, no idea what the cause is, start the game with the batch file linked at the top so you can give an error for it

Notes:
- The entry is multiplayer only, which means I have to run a master server to manage everything
- Matchmaking is automatic, you should be able to press "Start Game" and be dropped directly into a match once the indicator at the bottom states you are connected to a server
- Matchmaking takes your option for shot prediction into account, matching you against opponents with the same setting (if you have prediction off nobody else you fight has it, unless they hacked their client to do so)
- No goals, just shoot your opponents and feel good about it
- All matches have a cap of 10 players in that match, I have yet to test what happens when two matches are running at once so expect a couple bugs here and there


I used another one of my in-progress games as a starting point for some of the client code (the entire gui package, the key handler, the font holder/char, parts of the game class, and the desktop starter class, as well as all the images that are in sub-folders). You can find that code at github:
https://github.com/Hexicube/RTRL
I'm pretty sure this is allowed, since that's open source, but if not I'll have to enter the jam instead.

Note that the server code connects to the hard-coded master server like the client does. You can compile and run that server and clients will connect to your server as well, once my server fills up (set to 10 players just in case there's bugs with multiple matches at once) people will be directed to yours instead.



Version history:
- Proto 7: Initial version
- Proto 8: Attempted to fix crashing issue based on suspected cause, also fixed minor aiming bug
- Proto 9: Fixed a crash relating to arrows moving off-screen (shouldn't happen normally)
- Proto 10: Attempted to fix a bug that caused maps to be shifted 1 block to the left for some players (which caused the arrow crash), older clients will be broken now
