SPLITSCREEN UPDATE COMING


Hi all,

I will soon be adding splitscreen functionality to this extension. I may pair this with a demo, but knowing how lazy I am, I'll probably pair it with some form of documentation instead.

The bulk of the work for this has been me smashing my head against a wall, trying to get GUI to work. As soon as I finish that, I should be ready to ship what I have.

For splitscreen functionality, you'll be able to make games work for up to four players. Drop-in/out is not currently supported, although lord knows I tried to make that a thing. Blame the GUI on that. Instead, you'll have to preconfigure how many players you want in a room before creating the camera and its associated GUI object. Two and four players is configured horizontally; three players is configured first-player top half, second and third players split horizontally on the bottom.

I have done all of this work to add a tonally jarring multiplayer mode to my upcoming game (which started out as a multiplayer game :3), so I figured I might as well hand you all the keys once I've figured out what I'm doing.
