Twanks
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
This is a simple game inspired by Worms, Tank Wars, and Scorched Earth. The main difference from those is that the players connect and control their tanks using Twitch chat.
Twanks can be a great choice if you want to do something engaging with your viewers.
How to set up as a streamer:
- enter your channel name, press Connect
- if the status is green "Online" the players can connect
- edit the options if necessary
- press Start when ready
How to play as a viewer:
Joining:
- type the provided join command (displayed in the top right corner) while the streamer is in the menu or in the shop (if enabled)
Shooting:
- during the game, wait for your turn to shoot (your name will be shown in bold in the top right, and there will be an arc with the angle values around your tank)
- type the shoot command (displayed in the top right corner)
- the form is !command angle power, for example, !shoot 45 100
- the angle is from 0 to 180 degrees, rotating counter-clockwise from the right (see the marker around the tank for angle examples)
- the power is from 0 to 100
- good luck!
Currently implemented features:
- anonymous connection to Twitch chat (read-only)
- setting up the commands to register for the game and to shoot
- setting up physics parameters: game field size, bouncy edges, earth crumbling, wind force, etc
- customizable ground color
- setting up game length limits (time)
- crumbling ground
- disaplaying twitch emotes from players
- upgrades/weapon shop
- joining mid-game during the shop phase (if enabled)
