NETKEEN: Multiplayer Keen Game
Thanks for giving out some idea!CKeen wrote:Aren't bombs technically harmless to keen in keen dreams? IIRC they are. So they should stay that way.
Here it is: As in Dreams, if you shoot a bomb and it doesn't hit any player, it'd just stay on the level in collectible form.
Problem: Potential unbounded increase of in-game objects... and when memory is a great constraint in NETKEEN, it may not work out so well.

Yeah, that was the reason I didn't make them collectable again.NY00123 wrote: Here it is: As in Dreams, if you shoot a bomb and it doesn't hit any player, it'd just stay on the level in collectible form.

There could be an option to make bombs self-damaging.

Oh, that would be neat! I'd be more interested in that than in any of the other gameplay modifications discussed, to be honest. Keen 8 & 9 especially.Syllypryde wrote:Maybe someday there could be Keen 7-9 levels included in NetKeen!

Previously, NetKeen required command line fiddlery and was a little overcomplicated. No more! Behold, NKLAUNCH! Making it super easy to get NetKeen up and running with minimal fuss! Note you will still need players etc, IRC is highly recommended.

Tutorial updated
Please tell me if that's correct, TerminILL.
P.S. Is there any time when a port other than 3140 would be used?

The port needs to be entered before the nodes.
A port other than 3140 might be used if for some reason you're unable to forward 3140. Theoretically, any port from 1025 up could be used if it is not already in use.
I will update this a little soon, since what's there is basically what I whipped up in an hour, tops.
EDIT: New version is go, at the same link. This allows for hosting, and prevents a possible memory usage issue present in the old version.

Wow, very nice, thanks.
Just a question: does NetKeen through CKLaunch use more memory than NetKeen without it?
