Right now they're an ugly grey. Make them sparkle! Make them look dangerous!

This would involve modifying the ArenaHUD Blueprint.

Will probably need to look at a UE demo for details on how to do this.

Right now you have to give it a CLI opt to connect to a server and that's kinda a pain.

Does not necessarily have to be immutable cubes. Be creative!

When not running as a window inside the editor there's no way to terminate the client other than the ol' ctrl-alt-del death-pinch

• Make a bounding volume
• If you are inside it, your HP steadily decreases
• Your speed also decreases
• Make a separate mesh with a tar-like material to represent the tar.

You can connect a client to the server, then disconnect(via ctrl-alt-del) and the server will spin-error out with this error ^

Then you can reconnect and a phantom dead player object will be sitting there (not a ghost).

Set up a server in the office and have people connect to it. May require publishing?

Or non photorealistic rendering. Look at the Engine Feature Samples -> Stylized Rendering demo and incorporate what looks cool into our level.

Two options here.

• Tile the arena (can have different materials for each)
• Add a repeating texture pattern over the current arena square.

Depends on #14

Or else distinguish them somehow -- different materials? Can we make this a configurable local variable? (Note: this is separate from displaying the player's name over their head).

We have a "Bombs" variable on the PlayerCapsule Blueprint; simply expose this to the HUD. Bonus points for making pretty graphics (e.g., one bomb left would look like this: ◦◦•) -- look at the StarterContent, there may be something there we can re-use.

Right now it extends above the player head.

This is a fairly complicated feature! Come up with a plan of attack and then create new issues as needed.

Figure out the underlying physics. Can we use impulse/force instead?

Also decrement the bomb count.

Argh. Will have to use UE4 git module, but any other suggestions?

Depends on #13

right now it just runs around in a dead world acting on its own.

This will involve adding a hook to the OnDestroyed event. Also see
