Turrets 'N' Treads - TNT

**NOTE - Game is unfinished and now abandoned. Multiplayer in Gamemaker is a bit of a mess when compared to other, more full-featured engines like unreal and unity. I learned that the hard way, after about 400 hours here. I did learn a lot and game maker is good for getting a game up and running quickly, so I'm sure I'll be back. I'm recreating this game in unity, so I'll post a link to that here when it's playable. Thanks for your interest!**

Retro throwback multiplayer tanks game. Think COMBAT for the Atari 2600, Battle City for the Sega Genesis, or Bolo for PC. Control tanks, shoot your friends.

**Instructions for playing online**
The setup will be familiar to old school PC gamers. The server and client are both in the same application - no need to run a dedicated server.

For playing on the internet -
One person must be the server. That person must make sure that port 6510 is open on your firewall, both your hardware firewall and your software, windows firewall. Once that's done, run the game, and start a server by selecting your options on the set up screen and clicking START SERVER. At that point, the server is running, and will be waiting for client connections.
The client will then type in the server's IP address either in the main options screen, or on the game setup screen. Once the IP is correct, and the firewall settings are properly configured on the server, the clients will click the "Join Game" button. All connected players will show on the game description screen. When 100% of all connected players click ready, the game will count down and start the selected map. Once the map has started, player connections are not allowed and will be rejected.

For playing on a LAN-
One person must be the server. Ports 6510 and 6511 must be open. LAN servers are broadcast and will show up in the server list on the right side of the screen. Just double click the server in the list and the game will automatically join.

**This is an unfinished work in progress, in what would be considered pre-alpha. The game may crash, and many features are not finished or not fully implemented. Domination and Deathmatch are currently the only two working game modes.**
