Enjoy retro games? Enjoy multiplayer games? Ever wanted to play one retro game against a different game in real time?
**Welcome to Super Retro Mega Wars!**
Play against your friends, with each of you can competing by playing a different game. Score points in your game and every other game will be handicapped in their own unique way. But watch out, as others score, your game will become more difficult too.

No ads. No in game purchases. Just retro games and good times.
Any feedback is very welcome at GitHub.
**Known limitations:**
* Thorough play testing required to balance the games.
* Untested on multiple screen sizes.

## Reporting Issues
Please report any issues or suggest features on the [issue tracker](https://github.com/retrowars/retrowars/issues).
## Translating
We use [Weblate](https://hosted.weblate.org/engage/retrowars/) to manage translations. Please see [these instructions for using Weblate](https://hosted.weblate.org/engage/retrowars/) to translate retrowars.
> **Note:** After translations are completed in Weblate, a manual change is still required in this code base in order to enable the translation.
> This will typically be done on your behalf soon after the translation is added, but feel free to log an issue requesting it be done if there are any delays.
>
> The technical reason for this delay is because not all glyphs of each font are rendered.
> Doing so would result in an excessively large game (each font is rendered into PNGs of various font sizes, and fonts such as Google Noto have an impressively large number of glyphs).
