Controls
- Host/Join: one clicks Host and shares the code; the other pastes it and Joins.
- On foot: WASD move (camera-relative) · Mouse look · Scroll zoom · E claim a tread · V cycle camera · Esc frees cursor.
- Driving (after you claim): you teleport to a stand and control your tread — W throttle · LShift plant-pivot · A/D lean · Q leave. Turning = you and your teammate differ your throttle (or plant a pivot). No reverse.
New in 0.2.0
- Rigged run-around player characters + on-foot → drive control handoff (claim a part = teleport to a stand, controls lock to your tread).
- 150x150m junkyard arena walled with cargo containers.
- Cinemachine camera system — 4 modes (avatar / robot / stand / cinematic), mouse-look + zoom.
- Driving fixed: faster forward + actual steering (low-friction chassis + yaw-assist).
Networked over Unity Relay — no port-forwarding. Rough prototype.

How to play
- Host: one player clicks Host (top-left) and shares the join code.
Join: the other pastes the code and clicks Join. - You spawn as a character — WASD / arrows to run around the arena.
- The bot's two treads can be driven by claiming a seat (Claim button): W/Up throttle, Shift plant-pivot, A/D lean. (Heads-up: running and tread-driving currently share WASD — a work-in-progress; the finished flow separates them via player stands.)
Networking is over Unity Relay — no port-forwarding needed. This is a rough prototype snapshot.
