Cross Box Online (WIP)

This is an improved version of an old project called Cross Square I worked on many yearsa ago. It was always my goal with it to add online mutiplayer, and I recently got to implementing it. It's still WIP though, so expect bugs and weird behaviors here and there.

How it works

It's a simple grid based territory control game. 

• Players take turn picking a corner of the play map (marked as a blue circle) and then a direction. 
• A line will be spawned at that point and in that direction. 
• The line will keep going until it hits another corner, at which point it will turn 90 degrees and keep going like this.
• The line stops once it can't advance or turn anymore. 
• At this point, all the squares created by the intersections of the player's line with itself, with other lines and with the map borders will be marked as that player's and added to their score. 
• Then the turn passes to the next player.

Trust me, it's (even) simpler than it sounds on paper.

Features

The game is very small and what you see is what you get.

• play against up to 3 CPUs (who dn't really have AI of any kind)
• play against others online:
  • With join codes: players must share the Join code given by the host to play together
  • With lobbies: Create/Browse and join a lobby with other people
• Customize your player name and icon
• During gameplay, press the 1-9 keys to emote 😊😅😠😟😎

As I said at the start, bugs and weird things are to be expected, and feedback is very welcome. Thanks in advance for playing!
