[Suggestion] EasyWebSocket

0 favourites
  • This is merely a suggestion, but easywebsocket.org

    seems like it would be a pretty awesome plugin,

    might make building multiplayer games a whole lot easier. <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

    I havent really felt like picking up Javascript until now, maybe i will for this.

  • Interesting! Certainly worth investigating. Thanks for sharing,

  • The chat demo didn't work for IE9. I thought it worked with all browsers according to the website ("You don't want to worry about browser compatiblity").

    No, IE9 doesn't have inbuilt support for WebSockets. The EasyWebSockets website should say "You don't want to worry about browser compatiblity - as long as you're not using IE1-9".

    BTW, as far as multiplayer games are concerned, EasyWebSockets could be of some use as a development platform, but no more, since you've got no control over the server, and that's a crucial requirement for an industrial-strength multiplayer game.

  • Yeah, i just found it and thout it might be a nice thing to develop on since you can do all the game and server logic in C2, and is pretty simple to understand.

    IE10 has a working implementation of WebSockets, so it's not going to be a problem for long.

  • Interested enough to start working on it :)

    If anyone likes to join to bring up the best possible, feel free to join me ;)

    PS.: Not working yet, as I am still in set up process.

    I'm glad you're developing a plug in :D

  • ... you can do all the game and server logic in C2 ...

    Well, actually no. As I said, EasyWebSockets allows you no control over the server, and that's a crucial requirement for a multiplayer game

  • I would not say, that it is a cucial requirement. Back in the 90, there were not really Game Servers but Peer to Peer connections and the game itself took care of a server behaviour. This is something, you can actually do with EasyWebSockets.

    I am trying to give the best possible functionality with the PlugIn to allow sending object specific coordinates, a Chat System and maybe other stuff.

    In Addition, you can also set up 2 different games, one version to be run as a client only Game and one that mainly runs as a Server and broadcasts the results. (okay, you need to have a Browser somewhere that is running the server Game all the time. But it is possible) :)

  • I would not say, that it is a cucial requirement ...

    Hmmm. Well, my earlier post actually said "... that's a crucial requirement for an industrial-strength multiplayer game", while conceding that "EasyWebSockets could be of some use as a development platform".

    Wikipedia has a useful article about the crucial role of the server in controlling multiplayer interactions.

    But good on you, Ubivis, for taking up the challenge of developing a plugin! <img src="smileys/smiley20.gif" border="0" align="middle">

  • even it does not turn out to be any good (even for a BattleShips or 4-in-a-row Game). For me, it will be a big experience to work on it and hopefully gives to knowledge to continue working on my Photon Server Plugin :)

  • Ubivis

    I like your motivation! :)

    Photon seems nice, but i'm not going to use it because it has no

    linux port (so i cant host it on one of my servers) and Cloud has no free tier (trial doesnt count).

  • I'm working on implementing the following PHP Websocket code as a plugin because i want a PHP server and a javascript client.

    Have you had a look at my experimental PhotonPlayer plugin? I'd be very happy for you to use my code as a basis for your own plugin.

    Not yet, wanted to start from scratch but might have a look ;)
