Given the lack of gameplay tuning and levels, I don't even consider
single player mode "fun enough" at the moment. So I really consider it
relativly useless to even start thiniking about 2player mode at this
point.

It scatteres a lot of "for(unsigned int i = 0; i < players_nb; i++)"
across the source, given a better management of gameobjects that could
be done quite a bit nicer. The major problem however is that it
introduces a feature that isn't needed at the moment shortly before
release time.

Anyway, if you really want to make a 2 player mode, I would strongly
recomment to do one in MarioBros style (ie. no scrolling, respawning
enemies, etc.):

That way you could easily avoid all that throuble that a 'real' two
player mode would give.
