# Borderlands 2 - two-player split screen on Linux
#
# Borderlands 2 has NO native PC split screen, so this launches TWO independent
# instances that connect over Goldberg's emulated Steam LAN. Each instance gets
# its own save, its own Goldberg identity, one controller, and half the screen
# (gamescope), auto-tiled side-by-side on KDE Plasma (KWin).
#
# Two build layouts are supported and AUTO-DETECTED:
#   * native  - the Aspyr native Linux port (ELF `Borderlands2`)         -> no Proton
#   * proton  - the Windows build (`Binaries/Win32/Borderlands2.exe`)    -> umu/Proton
# Force one with:  MODE=native|proton ./bl2-splitscreen.sh ...
#
# Usage:
#   ./bl2-splitscreen.sh check     # verify prerequisites for the detected mode
#   ./bl2-splitscreen.sh setup     # build the two patched game copies
#   ./bl2-splitscreen.sh run       # launch both halves + tile them
#   ./bl2-splitscreen.sh tile      # (re)tile the two windows on KDE
#   ./bl2-splitscreen.sh clean     # remove generated copies (not the game)
