UPDATE: 20280826 – Made a Microcontroller joystick controller for the maze game.
Above test was abandoned, it was working okay.
But I made a V2 using some vibe coding … yeah, I know …
Time to shelf …
Works:
- Mqtt websocket
- Multiuser
- Keyboard control
- Fire/kill detection
- Admin view
No working / needs work / nice to have:
- Restart after kill, resets score
- Set own username
- Sound effects?
- Degrees are > 360 .. lol
