[Super-tux-devel] 2 players mode [patch]

[Ricardo C. <ri...@ae...>]

Hey there,

 Here goes a first implementation of a 2 players mode.
 It is made to be able to support more than 2 players. However, enabling 
backscrolling breaks it and it has problems when one of the players is made 
to go into tiles.

 In the 2 player mode, the keys for 2nd player are W,A,S,D and Right control 
for power. The 1st player uses the Left control for power, in that mode.
 For those that cannot test the patch, here is a screenshot:

 Anyway, I would like to hear feedback about the gameplay. Currently, each 
player has its own lives,. Thus, ending the game, as soon as both players 
don't have any lives. Tobias agreed with this, what do you think?
 Do you think the screen should be splited out?

(currently the score is shared by both, but this will be fixed)

-- 
Around the turn of this century, a composer named Camille Saint-Saens wrote
a satirical zoological-fantasy called "Le Carnaval des Animaux."  Aside from
one movement of this piece, "The Swan", Saint-Saens didn't allow this work
to be published or even performed until a year had elapsed after his death.
(He died in 1921.)
	Most of us know the "Swan" movement rather well, with its smooth,
flowing cello melody against a calm background; but I've been having this
fantasy...
	What if he had written this piece with lyrics, as a song to be sung?
And, further, what if he had accompanied this song with a musical saw?  (This
instrument really does exist, often played by percussionists!)  Then the
piece would be better known as:
	SAINT-SAENS' SAW SONG "SWAN"!
