Tank Arena v3.0 (Multiplayer Cloud Game)

Description

More multiplayer fun coming soon here: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/12785898/

11 Sep 2013 – YAY!!! SAFE CHAT! – Press T… :)

22 Aug 2013 – v2.3 – Added keyboard support in place of mouse clicks… W to set destination, Space to set shooting target. Added visible drive to target.

22 Aug 2013 – v2.2 – Working on a few power ups… (4 gun types implemented… Use number keys 1-4 for now)

21 Aug 2013 – v2.1b – Switched to an alternative map for variety. I’ll do that from time to time until I get it working automatically. Added bullet and explosion sprite caching to try to improve performance when there are lots of players at once… We shall have to see!

How to Play

A Multiplayer game for 2 to 8 players – Wait 8 seconds to join. If it’s just you, then you have to just wait and hope someone else will join!

• Click to move your tank to that location (or press W)
• Click and hold to target an area to shoot at (or press Space)
• Number keys 1-4 to change weapon
• Press ‘c’ to change your colour (while playing).
• Press ‘p’ to toggle player list.
• Press ‘t’ to enter safe chat mode

Please note that because I am actively developing this project I might need to remotely stop your projects so that everyone is running compatible versions of the game :)

Many people have asked me to add multiplayer to my games. But is it really possible in scratch? Well… Lets find out :)
