Any chance of implementing co-op mode? #212

Thanks for the great mod. Very much appreciated for your time and effort. Are there any plans for co-op mode or multiplayer being implemented?

"implamenting" - ha, your typo may be my new favorite word!

"imp-lamenting" Definition 1 - Thinking back ruefully on the demon that just kicked your ass. Definition 2 - Thinking back ruefully on the feature you tried to implement that kicked your ass. :)

Right now, multiplayer is completely broken due to the way the client/server architecture was bypassed to implement some of the touch controls. I do want to clean this code up so death match works again. This can probably be done with a decent amount of work but no real showstoppers. It's on my list, but near the bottom - something to do once everything else is implemented.

Co-op is a different problem, as the game was never designed with this in mind ( at all ), and there are a LOT of considerations that need to be addressed before it would be feasible. It would also have to be done after everything else is working perfectly. I think it would be ABSOLUTELY awesome to play, but I honestly just don't know if ( or when? ) it's something I want to tackle.
