It's a great start! I like that there's a preview window, showing what you're interacting with. I tried messing the the chessboard, but I couldn't quite figure out if I could do anything with it. Leveraging libp2p is also an accomplishment. Does this currently interact with a game server publicly, or is the game still localhost only?
Yeah this is connecting to a baked-in node that Spritely is running during the jam rating period that hosts the rooms and some bots. If multiple people were online at the same time you'd see them. A localhost server is used to provide the web UI. Everything is rather cryptic at the moment, and there isn't much of a game to be had yet, but it's the very beginnings of a p2p virtual world. Extrapolating a bit, you could imagine hosting your own rooms on your machine that other players can visit in a truly p2p way.
I didn’t understand this last year, but I didn’t think too much of it cause maybe it was something experimental that I wasn’t able to appreciate. But you submitted the same game again this year. So you must think there’s something to it. But I really don’t get it. I’m so confused. I don’t know what the game is about or if there’s a goal. I don’t know what it wants me to do. I don’t know why a game that supposedly has people in it only lets me talk to bots instead of others. I don’t like that the syntax for bot commands is so needlessly long. I don’t like that there’s no autocomplete. I don’t like that there’s not enough feedback - most of my attempted messages/commands are met with no response. I just don’t get it.
Looks pretty interesting. Firstoff: It worked, showing a chat in the browser with other people in it.
When moving to the ?Arcade and then moving back to the ?Lobby, I got an error:

… and many more like this.
I dont understand what that object like NamelessGoblin+N and other until tried to launch this game without Internet and got empty screen. Very cool even for prototype.
