How about adding AI tech to this game?...
Yes, I'm not a tech nerd but you may consider debug codes and add new textures in short term.
Maybe our project offers like 2d animations like haxball. Or even 3D possibilities for next features.
You may setup up and engine like goes on with new coding patches and plug-in from basic AI solutions.
Hope the best.
Thanks for updating...
