    I would like to see if you can implement a multiplayer, and by that i mean that there is like a random generated code that you will give to a friend, and both of you can use the same screen or two connected screen.

    we're working on that, not exactly as you described though, there are named rooms which multiple people can join. it is already working, but there are many features to add

    yeah, it's not being given out since it's not finished. The client is on github, but the server is being hidden until after the release so you can't use it yet. This version does not require you to be port forwarded, it has a central server that you just connect to. It also syncs all setting changes and view modes, and other things nicely. It can even send the entire screen over to others when they first join.

    Is the original thread, I finally stopped supporting it because people couldn't figure out port forwarding, and updates finally broke some functions it used.

     

    The new one is a billion times better, if you get on IRC sometime, I'll let you test it with me.  Jacob, Cate and I had a good fun test yesterday, it's nearly like working on the same TPT.

     

    https://github.com/cracker64/tptmp is the new client, although useless if you don't have a server to connect to.

    If you read the posts above yours:

    The server is in closed beta, so there is currently no function to the client and you can't play multiplayer. (?)
