Multiple players

Hey, I just came across this project on Reddit. It looks like great work.

However, based on what I see on the readme, this project does not aim at allowing multiple players, although it should not be that difficult to implement.

For Steam, opening a 2nd session with a different home binding in bwrap seems to do the trick, but more testing may be needed.

Should I invest more time on that, or is it outside the scope of this project?

If I understood you correctly, you are talking about mulitple Linux users on the same system, running the games.
This would be great, since things like Steam Cloud or achievements can be utilized for both players, and less tinkering with bwrap.
Also, the GUI has to be changed to allow for multiple Linux users, like a run box, something I was already planning to do.

I'll experiment with how the users would interact with each other a bit.

Sorry, I had misunderstood the project.

Since the README describes multi-game use cases, I thought that automating bwrap was in the scope of the project.

Maybe it would be better to have a doc page with guides for various games/emulators that could run split screen.

For some cases, like multiplayer in RPCS3, a network namespace is also needed.
