I like it but still want multiplayer. Any ideas around abstractions to support that?

I'd fully expect to need a websocket server and interconnect etc. eg on physical hardware this might be a serial port.

Does the gamepad support also allow real gamepads or would this be injected directly into the memory map io locations?

Physical gamepads are supported by memory mapping, the game itself doesn't know if the player is using a keyboard, touchscreen, or real gamepad.

I think if multiplayer will ever be supported, it should be abstracted in the same way. We might create a runtime for libretro, which could enable adhoc netplay "for free".
