FAQ
1. Are those other people playing right _now_?
A: They are the “ghosts” of the 20 or so most recent players, recorded and replayed for your zombie infestation pleasure!
2. But how does PICO8 do client server?
A: I use the GPIO pins to encode each replay (including player name and score) in 128 8bit numbers (0-255), then store this in a FatFractal backend!
3. Can I save my progress somehow?
A: I haven’t worked this out yet as itch doesn’t seem to have the user data store facility that is available on gamejolt - I’ll cross post the game to gamejolt and then you can save away :)
