Thanks for everyone helping to find a date and hopefully

See you at the event!

There will be a TwitchPlayHedgewars Event soon!

To help us find the exact date(s),
please indicate when you'll have time on this doodle POLL

In TwitchPlayHedgewars the game is controlled by accumulating the chat commands given by players in Twitch chat, more details here.

All you need to participate is to have a Twitch account, so that you can post to chat.

Thanks to koda's twitter I stumbled over

TWITCH PLAYS HEDGEWARS

(Kudos to twitch user testmarshall for making this!!!)

There you can play Hedgewars using chat, competing with your enemies and possibly also your team mates
Gain points and money, bet on results, buy items or special events etc. etc.!

E.g. enter st blue (set team) to join the blue team!
Then you can use things like left 5 to make your Hedgehog walk (if it's your team's turn), then choose a weapon and follow the chat's instruction about how to fire/target your weapon (often fire <angle> <power>)

Read the instructions below the stream if you want to find out more

PS: Since this is twitch, expect a stream delay of 10 seconds or higher - the (sub-)turn times do compensate for that though!

In the BehindTheHedge series we provide brief glimpses into what's going on at the development side of the game.

In this episode I will talk mostly about the changes made to how hedgehogs spawn and how fort mode got upgraded.
