Yet-another Multiplayer Demo

It's a demo of my new socket.io plugin.

1. The same room id will enter to the same room.

2. Player can wait others at lobby. Player who entered this room first could press "Start" button to start the game. After game started, the room will be closed so that other players could not enter.

The different of new one with old one is, the server of new one is located at heroku. So plugin user does not need to worry about how to create server.

The new server could create mutli game-rooms, each game-room is a chat-room basically, server only broadcast message to all clients in the same room.

Uh, it has a game lobby to see the opened games. Just double click the name at up-right listbox to join these opened game. (special thanks to septeven for his great listbox plugin)

(To test this feature, you could create a game and do not press start.)

All the client side (game, lobby) are created by plugins within C2.

Thanks.

Hope it could help designers to create their own mutli-player games, especially for designers who do not know how to build a server.

omg good job!

connection between server and client is secured?

Peteer

No, I only send the message between server and client.

ok ty

Uh, it still has limitation -- it's better for only using in turned base game.

rexrainbow,

sir, even just 'that' is awesome to people who want to make; card games, board games, strategy games, war games, combat games, rogue-like rpg's and the list goes on...

just live with the fact that...

uh, the limitation will need to add aonther one -- since the database at heroku is 5mb for free version, it could not save data to database of server.

So designer might need save data in webstorage, sorry.

BTW, it also could not make a social game since it could not provide account login and database.

rexrainbow,

ok - heroku sucks for now, but you're still awesome........i'm not taking it back....lol.
