Networking Guide



You can play multiplayer in two ways:

1. Local Play 🖥️🔗 – Connect two computers on the same network.
2. Online Play 🌐🎮 – Connect with friends over the internet.


Local Play 🏠

The host (the player selecting ‘Start Server’) needs to find their computer’s network address:

• Windows 🪟: Open Command Prompt and type ipconfig. Look for IPv4 Address.
• Mac 🍎: Open Terminal and type ifconfig. Look for inet.

Once you have the address (e.g., 192.168.1.666), go to ‘Connection Settings’ in the game:

• Enter the IP address you found.
• Use port 7770 🔢.
• Click ‘Start Server’, then ‘Join’.

You’re in! 🎉


Online Play (For Friends Worldwide) 🌍

To play with friends over the internet, you have two options:

  1. VPN (Easy Option) 🛡️ – Use a service like Hamachi.
    • Make sure everyone is connected to the same VPN 🔗.
    • The VPN may provide an IP address to use 🖥️.
  2. Port Forwarding (Advanced Option) 🚪
    • Instead of your local IP, use your public IP address 🌐.
    • You’ll need to forward the correct port on your router 🔧.


How to Join a Server 🕹️

Joining a server is easy! Simply ask your friend for the IP address and port they used to start the server.

• Enter these details in ‘Connection Settings’.
• Click ‘Join’.

That’s it — you’re in! 🎉

Hope this helps!
