BULLS VS BEARS SHOOTER / ESP32 APPLICATION
Margin Call
A retro bulls-versus-bears shooter made for Cardputer and desktop.
About this project
About this project
A first-person shooter where bulls and bears trade fire on screen and you join in, with the Dow Jones, S&P 500, Nasdaq-100 and crude oil deciding which side is stronger that day; an AI called ALGO-9000 keeps meddling with the market. The main build is a Tauri desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux with 2–4 player LAN or online matches, but there is also firmware for the M5Stack Cardputer ADV, released as a .bin loaded through M5Launcher from an SD card and built with pio run under PlatformIO and Arduino. On that keyboard machine, E/S move, A/D turn, W/R strafe, and L switches language on the title screen. Online play goes through a Cloudflare server whose free daily quota is shared worldwide and pauses until 00:00 UTC once spent; LAN keeps working.
