NOTE: To start a server, do the following:

• On OS X or Linux, run the following in Terminal: path/to/love DnD-Map-Explorer/ 1 (1 being the argument that enables server mode)
• On Windows, change the line in main.lua from Network = Network('localhost', 9999, tonumber(args[2]) or 0) to Network = Network('localhost', 9999, 1) then run the game as you normally would.

If a client is opened when a server is running, as long as both machines are on the same network, it should automatically connect to the server. If a server is opened after the client, press B on the client to connect. The server's screen should become tinted red to indicate connection.
