Game and Technical Speculations:

Controls: Movement is controlled by the arrow keys. Commands are controlled by mouse point-and-click. Selection is controlled by double clicking or mouse dragging. Keyboard commands are provided in-game.

Practice: Omnipotence can be played "Single Player" and becomes more or less a building game. Playing on your own is a great way to learn what buildings do, and how to play the game in general.

Tip: Clicking the manual button in the center of the title screen will provide you with a reference about the game that you can use throughout the game.

Tip: I highly advise getting some practice in playing this game before the tournament! Practice is the key to success.

Flaw: Omnipotence was created using BYOND version 3.5, and likewise, lacks a modern skin interface, using the default skin interface.

Flaw: The game is also only able to be played when hosted in Dream seeker, not Dream Daemon. Hosting using Dream Daemon will not result in you receiving host commands, and will be unable to begin the game.

Fix: Thanks to a bug fix made in BYOND version 495, Omnipotence is playable in the latest version of BYOND as it was intended to be played.
