The first alpha release of Geomatrix

Added features:

Changing shapes: Shape selection is now fully supported.
Changing maps: Added the ability to change maps.
Visual Overhaul: Improved overall graphics alongside smooth, tile-based map animations.
Settings menu: Added an interactive settings menu (change resolution, scale, and adjust your target frame rate).
Progression Tracking Introduced a permanent tracking system for both your Trophy Count and Coin Count.
Continuous Matchmaking: There is no need to restart the server nor client to have another match.
Fog of war: Implemented visibility tracking to keep the arena intense and tactical.

Dynamic-sized UDP packets: To drastically save network bandwidth, packets are no longer bound to a massive, fixed-size C++ struct. The server dynamically calculates byte placement and packet size on the fly—only broadcasting data about entities actively visible inside a player's screen or Fog of War.
Introduces render scale: The client doesn't create true-scale texture for the entire map. Instead it scales it down, reducing VRAM consumption;
Snapshot Client Interpolation: The client uses frame-rate independent snapshot interpolation to calculate the precise position of the player, so there is no overshooting or flickering in the gameplay experience;

P.S.: Make sure to have the maps/ folder in the same directory as the executables, you can find it here

After downloading the file, open your terminal in the download folder and give it permission to run:

# 1. Grant execution rights for both files
chmod +x Client_Linux
chmod +x Server_Linux

# 2. Run the game!
./Server_Linux & ./Client_Linux
