I hadn't heard of that. I may be dating myself here but I played a similar game when I was in elementary school it was black and white and could do 2 players. I think it was on an early Apple.

Thanks for the tips. I might just open a Twitter account for this. I am working on another version of this that translates the controls so you can play 4 players with 4 individual joycons. Are there plans to allow controls() to work based on the switch grip order? What I mean is if I setup the joycons as 4 different controllers in the Switch gui I would hope to be able to reference them as their own unique controller with identical names for the buttons and stick. And of course SL and SR....

@gilman No plans that I am aware of but that would seem like a good idea

@gilman . Original Spacewars was made in 1962.

Great! Just needs a star in the middle that sucks you in ohhhhh and my fave bit, when you shot the other players ship and didn't get a perfect hit, some of the ship would break off and it would then be slower. loved that. Good work so far!
@DomDom 62? really.. woah I could have sworn it was 76-77ish.

Me too but Wikipedia never lies.

No, but it can be talking about different things! The SpaceWar (no s) from '62 would be the PDP-11 version whereas the version from the late 70's that I'm pretty sure will be what Steve was referring to will be the arcade game from Cinematronics

Yeah, it is.

I've updated this with engine burn behind the ship, limitted fuel, and unique debris from each of the ships. Id love to hear from someone with a 4 controller setup how it plays with 4 players. I think I am done with this now, should I post it in the great list of game codes?
