Achtung! Die Kurve!
A browser-based take on Achtung! Die Kurve! with local shared-keyboard play, CPU opponents, spectator support, and LAN multiplayer through a small host-authoritative relay.
What it is
Achtung! Die Kurve! is a browser game inspired by the classic shared-screen curve battle. Players steer growing lines, avoid collisions, and try to survive longer than the others.
The project supports local shared-keyboard play, single-player CPU modes, spectator behavior, and LAN multiplayer through a small relay service.
Technical focus
The interesting part is keeping the game simple at the surface while supporting multiple play modes. Local play, CPU drivers, spectators, drop/rejoin flows, and LAN play all need to share the same game rules without turning the browser app into a fragile pile of special cases.
The LAN implementation uses a host-authoritative WebSocket relay so the game can work inside an office network without requiring a heavyweight backend.
Current state
Active as an office LAN hobby project. The current version includes spectators, drop/rejoin behavior, CPU tuning, and gameplay mode refinements.
