    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.
