I fixed some bugs and added a crowd to watch the gladiators.  I also added (only one) shield.  As long as you hold the shield the sword can’t hurt you.

It’s multiplayer so you can help me playtest it here:

Move with the arrow keys, fire with the spacebar.  The aim of the game is to grab the sword (You Only Get One) before anyone else and fire it at another player.  Aiming is automatic. First person to a score of 5 wins.

Make sure to click on the canvas to give it keyboard focus … need to fix that
