Multiplayer Websocket and Colyseus client

Hi all.

I have uploaded a Gideros project in https://github.com/jdbcdev/beatemup.git which contains my implementation of Colyseus client(https://colyseus.io/).

It is based on Defold Lua client (https://docs.colyseus.io/getting-started/defold-client/), and I have tested with colyseus example (https://github.com/colyseus/colyseus-examples) trying to create a real time multiplayer game with Gideros.

Give it a chance, although this is just a prototype, I am working on it.

  • I tried the project but I don't know nothing about tcp/ip port, localhost opening port,... Sorry I can't give you my feedback :(

    You have to start the server https://github.com/colyseus/colyseus-examples first.

    When the Gideros app runs on Gideros Player, it connects to 'chat' room using websockets and colyseus client (not only for HTML target)

    If the colyseus client is connected to 'chat' room, it receives a roomid and the client calls to loop function on every frame update to receive events from server, I am not sure if this is the best way (Defold uses it in that way).
  • no, no, I am not into this at all I installed git but then I have to learn a lot of things... I am not into this kind of stuff! Sorry.
    But that looks cool!

  • Had some fun with this today. I attempted to install it but because my windows username has a space in it... colyseus doesn't make the new server correctly.

    renaming your user on the pc does not work because of course windows keeps the old folder names with spaces in tem... and just changes the username LOL

    I created a new user on my pc called colyseus and that worked until I discovered that if your username is the same as a module, that module never installs LOL

    I suppose I have learned a couple of new things today but the end result was nothing worked hehehe

    I used Ubuntu to start colyseus server and wine with Gideros Studio.

    Colyseus server is listening on port 2567 for websocket connections, Gideros project only creates a room using websocket, the room id is shown in console:

    The colyseus server is compressed with 7z because the zip format is not allowed to upload as attach file.

    It provides a start.sh to start server, if you use Windows should create the equivalent .bat file or just execute npm start from root directory.

  • thanks @jdbc but I'm not going to persist with colyseus, it's really overly complex for me personally. There doesn't seem to be very good support and the documentation is sparse to say the least.
