NoobHub matchmaking?

  I used Noobhub for matchmaking with up to seven players. Because everything is client side, you have to have an extra check to decide who will act as server, or game leader. This quickly gets messy, because players can lose their connection, and it's difficult to cover all edge cases. In the end I ditched my prototype in favour of a custom server with matching logic on it.

  I was working on implementing matchmaking between two players in the server side. My approach is the following:
  
  1) The client app subscribe to "public" channel
  2) I have modified node.js file to create a room (rooms hash in Javascript) or connect to players in the same room when this first message is receive. The variable socket.connection_id is perfect to identify a connected player.
  3) Every client receives a special message with the connectionId of each players.
  4) Now every player knows the channel to publish messages.

  I have found a similar project to Noobhub
  
  https://github.com/huytd/node-js-game-server
  
  It provides some room creation support but you should create your own cliente based on lua socket and Noobhub client.

  there is this NoobHub port to love2d that I ported to Gideros and it is working on my machine
  
  No Node.js needed, pure Lua code
  
  The original project is here: https://codeberg.org/glitchapp/noobhub-love2d
  
  and my Gideros version: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Rpc9qeowENCrHmEGFvuCJp_xoo0LTIY3?usp=sharing
  
  or

  Demo:

  local NoobHub = require("classes/noobhub-server")   NoobHub:start()   stage:addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, function(e) NoobHub:update() -- NoobHub:drawServerInfo() end)   NoobHub:drawServerInfo()

  Results:

  Uploading finished. NoobHub server started on port 1337 NoobHub Server (1337) Uptime: 0.0s Connections: 0 Channels: 0 Online Users: 0   Connected Clients: Channel Activity:

  PS: it was only for a quick test and didn't try to create a client/server demo
  PS2: for those who are into client/server stuff, this would be cool if you show us the basics with a demo
  PS3: when I come back to it I need to add it to the wiki

  Likes: pie
