You can try the game over ssh without installing: `ssh frittura.org -p 3788` My server is not very powerful and there is a limit to the number of concurrent players, so if you like it I would appreciate it if you could install it (https://github.com/ricott1/rebels-in-the-sky?tab=readme-ov-f...) and run it locally :) Here is a trailer (not of the last version, so some little things are different): https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/aaa02f04-06db-4da...

However, dang said[0]: > If it's hardware or something that's not so easy to try out over the internet, find a different way to show how it actually works—a video, for example, or a detailed post with photos. Hopefully I did that? Additionally, I've put code and a detailed guide for the netboot computer management setup on GitHub: https://github.com/kentonv/lanparty Anyway, if this shouldn't have been Show HN, I apologize!
