Basic Multiplayer functionality has been implemented as a plugin (plugins/multiplayer) enabled via the Plugin manager

source code: https://github.com/ViciousSquid/Dosidicus/tree/2.5.0.0_latest_release/plugins/multiplayer

When Multiplayer is enabled:

  • the client will search for and automatically connect to other running networked clients on LAN

  • Squids can leave their tanks via an edge and appear in other tanks where they may attempt to steal rocks/decorations and bring them back home as trophies

  • Squids will automatically return home after a random duration (between 2 and 5 minutes)

  • Supports UDP (default) or TCP/IP (experimental, untested) via included control panel (Plugins>Multiplayer menu)

  • 'Dashboard' is included to see connected clients

  • Experimental work in progress, please report issues
