R-Type is a horizontal-scrolling shooter arcade game developed and published by Irem in 1987. The player controls a space fighter named the R-9 to defend humanity against a mysterious powerful alien life-form known as the Bydo.
The goal of this project is to recreate a game similar to R-Type with multiplayer capabilities. The challenges are to create a standalone game engine that can handle multiple players using the UDP protocol and to create a game that is fun to play.
