Battledrones v14 adds four-player Compass Rose map
Original title: battledrones v14: Compass Rose, a four player map
Claude Opus 4.5 extended WebSocket play from two players to four, adding purple and green robot teams.
Simon Willison released Battledrones v14 with a four-player map called Compass Rose. Earlier maps were limited to two players. He prompted Claude Opus 4.5 to add four-way rotational symmetry, up to four AI players, and WebSocket multiplayer so humans can join by share link or QR code, with spare slots filled by AI.
- New teams use purple and green robots alongside existing blue and red designs.
- Multiplayer is the existing non-audio WebSocket mode.
