I also thought about this, however it has two big drawbacks: 1) it requires a lot of communication between the two parties to coordinate their work well. It is not obvious how this should be achieved conveniently while each of them has to control their pingus. 2) If both all players plan their actions (which can be assumed, as pinugs is more of a puzzle than an arcade game), the multiplayer mode does not add much to the gameplay. It's still almost the same puzzle, you only have two sets of pingus with different abilities. Although two players carry out the actions, they are just carrying out a single plan, which (thanks to pausing) could equally well be done by a single player. Puzzle games are always single player games, we have to face it =) Greetings Carsten _______________________________________________ Pingus-Devel mailing list Pingus-Devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pingus-devel
