hacker battle

[JoSedu]

In the hacker battle levels I can't select any other opponent than the default NPC.
The selection button suggests there should be more.
I activated multiplayer in the network options.
But still nothing.

Is this not implemented yet? Or am I doing something wrong?

It's versus friends. If you don't have any friends who've completed the battle, you'll only see the npc.

Anyone up for a battle can sign me up then.

So I have a friend on th leaderboard, but I cant see any button to select them. Am i blind?

It's the button labeled "Select Opponent" on the enemy host. (The little square their exas start in) It blends in really well, it took me a while to notice it.

Ah, subtle. Thanks

I have yet to be beaten in the first hacker battle. Please feel free to add me to give it a try.

@Charlie Challenge accepted. (And failed on first try ;-) )

I corrected that. Now I 100% everyone including you and Lyshkami, I wonder for how long ;)

Yeah the current setup of only 1 vs 1 encourages a back and forth.
Would be nich if they implement a Tournament.

Yeah the only acceptable way for me is to run one program against the whole friend list. Everything else would feel boring and like cheating to me.

If by tournament you mean that you would be forced to choose 1 program against your whole friend list then I second this.

It would be great to go in a large round robin with random opponents. The winner would be the one with the highest win rate.

First response wasn't too enthusiastic.
