Global Multiplayer + Major Improvements


Hey there, it's been a while :D
I know there weren't updates for some time but this new one is HUGE!

  • As you see in the title I finally added a Global Multiplayer. That means you are no longer required to be in the same LAN and on top of that can even play against total strangers :). 
  • Aside from that I also added a chat-function with integrated commands like: /kick /stats /rule_reset ... with /help you will get the hang of it easily. You can also use these commands to further configure the gamerules so they fit you the most.
  • I also added sound-effects and backgroundmusic, wich you can toggle with the sidebar icons.
  • The sidebar icons also slide in/out from the right side, so they don't take up too much place. Also they feature a leave-lobby or close game button. (You can still use esc to leave a lobby though).
  • To make your experience even better though I also added a lot of animations.
  • On top of that I also added a safe/load system that safes your stats,  sound-configurations as well as the last nickname and skin you used in a separate file, so you won't have to configure it every time you start up the game. 
  • At last I also added another skin "monkey".
  • What I wasn't able to do however is compatibility for a web-game. I spent hours working on that but the more I learned about it the clearer it became that I wouldn't be able to set it up...

Now for some realtalk: 
Making this update has been a whole lot of fun and because of that I sometimes willingly did nothing besides coding the entire day, but on the downside I sometimes found myself having headaches and tinnitus. I knew however that I would have to finish up the project now, since I wont be having as much time to work on it from now on. But honestly if I could rejoice now I would gladly do it again, because I love making games and I love seeing when others are having fun with the game I made. So if you're reading this please consider play testing the game it would mean a lot to me. For now I'm willing to pay for the server for as long as people will be playing on it (my current plan is to host it for at least a year I hope I'm able to maintain the IP).
And well I wrote that several times now, but I rarely get any feedback or any form of comments on this project, because of that I would be extra happy if you wrote anything down there. For example tell me what you thought of the cover image xD.
