🌐 Network Multiplayer Setup

Playing on Same Network (LAN)

  1. Host starts the game and selects "Host"
  2. Host shares their local IP address (displayed in-game)
  3. Client selects "Join" and enters the host's local IP
  4. Play together!

Playing Globally (Different Networks)

Using ngrok:

  1. Download ngrok: https://ngrok.com/download
  2. Host starts the game and selects "Host"
  3. In a separate terminal, run:
    ngrok tcp 65432
    
  4. ngrok will display a forwarding address like:
    Forwarding: tcp://0.tcp.ngrok.io:12345 -> localhost:65432
    
  5. Share the ngrok address with your friend
  6. Client selects "Join" → "Enter ngrok address" → enters 0.tcp.ngrok.io:12345
  7. Play together from anywhere in the world!
