[Solved] Using WebSocket plug-in: Node.js/Socket.io/Apache

Back,

I wonder if we should use "Server" or "WebSocket" ... Need to go further in this.

I have my own vps somehwere, I installed the nodejs server and expanded it with a couple of packages.
socket.io, node-mysql, webrtc.

It was a bit prepperation for the upcoming webrtc upgrade to construct 2.
I managed to get video and voice chat working with somesimpel examples straight from a couple html pages.

Also made a couple simple server apps for some of my games making use if the room techniques.

VPS is like 10$ a months. great to experiment with.

Hi lennaert

Nice to hear some news from you on this topic of networking. Do you have "public demo" on your VPS than we can try together ?
Do you have multiplayer games playable online ?

I've got a little dedicated server (10€ a month too) where I host a website, but as soon as I've got something working, I will put it online.
By the way, with the "ws" WebSocket server for node js, I managed to use the WS plug-in of C2 and communicate between clients \o/ I'll certainly make a tutorial out of this, as it could interest beginners in networking.

Its based on socket.io.
I build this in december somewhere.

The Battle arenas work nice.
Regular multiplayer was giving some hassle with positioning.
But since then webrtc was making its way to construct 2, so I figured I wait it out.

Tried it, but alone ^^ Will try it with a friend...

Thank you for posting you solution, it was very useful
