Use WASD or arrow keys to move to an adjacent cell, including up (like a jump), left, or right. Hitting the down key will make you crouch (which acts as a guard). The rules for combat are (roughly) as follows:\r\n\r\n* You move onto your opponent's cell - kill! You win the match.\r\n\r\n* You and opponent attempt to move to same cell - clash. One or both of you get knocked back to your original cell).\r\n\r\n* You move onto your opponent's cell while your opponent is crouching - clash. You both remain in place.\r\n\r\n* You move onto your opponent's cell FROM BEHIND while your opponent is crouching - kill!\r\n\r\n* You jump (move upwards), and then left or right onto an enemy cell - kill! Jump slashes beat normal slashes.\r\n\r\nThere are a lot of weird rules that add additional effects. For instance, moving left or right following a crouch will produce slightly different results than simply moving left or right (worth experimenting).\r\n\r\nLINUX USERS: Grab the source code from GitHub and run linux-build.sh. You might also need to install SDL2, SDL2_image, and SDL2_mixer.\r\n\r\nMAC VERSION IS IN! Hopefully it actually works. Might have to brew install sdl2, sdl2_image, and sdl2_mixer.\r\n\r\nWINDOWS USERS:\r\nIf the game won't open, run that vc_redist thing.\r\n\r\n===MULTIPLAYER?===:\r\nSo, I decided to cook up an online 2-player version of the game. It (like the game itself) is real choppy, but it works pretty well. Only glaring bug is: when one person person (player 1, for example) falls off the edge, player 2 sees themselves as killing player 1. Kinda weird but no big deal.\r\n\r\nTo join a multiplayer game, just press the number button on your keyboard corresponding to the player in the list you'd like to join.","title":"A Duel with the Devil"}
