Battledrones v14 adds four-player map
What happened
Battledrones maps previously supported only two players, with AI filling empty slots and teams designed as blue and red robots. On October 24, Simon Willison reported the release of Battledrones v14, which adds Compass Rose, a four-player map generated by Claude Opus 4.5. The release also reworks the WebSocket multiplayer networking code so up to four players can join via a shared link or QR code. Purple and green robot themes join the existing blue and red teams, extending multiplayer support from two players to four.
