The game requires a version 2 microbit per player and a further version 2 microbit to host the game. There are two installation methods. Directly copy host.hex to one micro bit and then microbit.hex, game.hex or gamezip.hex to each player's microbit. Or freshly flash the microbits using either uflash or copy micropython.hex file directly to the microbit. Then use microFS or the file transfer facility in mu-editor to copy to programs to each microbit. Each player's microbit runs the program gamezip.py, game.py or microbit.py depending on which controller they have. Copy the correct program with the following commands.

ufs put microbit.py main.py

ufs put game.py main.py

ufs put gamezip.py main.py


The final microbit which hosts the game running program host.py copy it to the microbit as follows.

ufs put host.py main.py

There currently are a few issues with MicroPython and version 2 microbit's. Try the microbit.hex in this repository which is a copy of MicroPython.
