this thread is kinda dead, but I got some questions about the local multiplayer feature. now I didn't test it out myself (not yet sure how to) so sorry if this has been largely answered already.

-is there two instances or just one when running local multiplayer? can you control both at once?
-is there a way to have the second instance use different keys?

the reason I'm asking is, I'd like to try something.
you probably know of programs such as Teamviewer that allow remote control of keyboard or mouse input; all while live feeding video output to the recipient.

so technically, you'd be able to make some sort of online multiplayer, hosted by the one allowing keyboard control through the app.
there would be some latency lag to the one receiving the video feed, but it would be fun to try out.

thanks for the quick reply.
it's still worth a try, I've had this idea since mullti was implemented.

regardless, the point of this is not actual playing, just fun experiment. so long as the connections are not outright terrible, the latency lag shouldn't be a major issue.
