Connecting in SAIR

Case 1 - 1 Computer

If two players use the same computer, this is called the split screen mode. In that case both players use the same computer screen, divided into two smaller game screens. The first player is assigned to the mouse and the second to the keyboard keys. The steps that need to be followed for that kind of connection would be:

1. Player 1 interacts with the post in the first screen of the game. - A message will be displayed.

Connecting 1

Player 1 then interacts with the tent in the first screen of the game. - A message regarding two players in the same PC will be displayed.

1. A second game screen will appear. That is the screen of the second player. There, the second player should guide their avatar to interact with the road in the starting screen. After they complete this step, the two players should be able to see each other.

   Download code The code of SAIR is freeware. That means that anyone can download it, use it, expand it, and modify it. In order to do so they must have the RPG Maker MV software which can be downloaded from here. The tool that was used The tool that was used for the creation of SAIR, was RPG Maker MV from the RPG Maker series. The specific software was chosen for the design and development process due to its usability, graphical results, and low level programming skills required as well as the ease with which a multiplayer game could be realized. RPG Maker MV and Plugins In RPG Maker MV plugins can be used. As a result a large community has grown around RPG Maker MV, in which plugins are developed which add things to the game making editor. The editor itself has a plugin manager for the better introduction of plugins to the game.
