Heroes of the Cubicles

This is a multiplayer LAN-based ASCII fighting game written in Python 2.7 that I made to kill productivity at work. It should only be run on an internal network! There is no encryption used for game communication, password storage, etc. Also, I take absolutely zero credit for any of the ASCII artwork, I found most of it on Christopher Johnson’s ASCII art website.

Features 4 playable characters! Who will you pick to dominate the cubicles?

Hop in and battle to the top of the highscores!
