Hi everyone! Before anything I wasn't sure if this was the correct place to post this, please moderators move it as you consider if this should go to some other place like Projects and Demos. https://github.com/damian-pastorini/dwdgame Also, please consider that this is my first implementation ever! I've never used neither Node.js, even less Parcel, Colyseus or Phaser, my world before this first incursion in game development was all about PHP and Magento, so that should give you an idea from where I'm coming. This quite awful but working example took me 75hs, including the time I've used for research and for decide which platform use for the server and the client. After all the research, Node + Colyseus and Phaser 3 looked as the better start point since I was familiar with JS and HTML of course but had zero knowledge about Unity (the other option I would like to use), but I've prefered make the learn curve not so slow. So.... This is a really simple base MMORPG game created based on the Colyseus samples: https://github.com/gamestdio/colyseus-examples And on the Phaser 3 implementation from Jacky Rusly: https://github.com/jackyrusly/jrgame As you will see I've considerable modified how the jrgame was interacting with Socket.io in order to make it works as how the Colyseus example was working, I've thought that was the better way to do it (follow up on server ready samples and break apart the client sorry Jacky!) The game basics are login through DB, loader, scene change, players sync, but nothing like chat, items, or attacks was implemented here (so far). Here's the link to the repo: https://github.com/damian-pastorini/dwdgame Please feel free to create any tickets or pull requests for questions, fixes or improvements, I would love to get good feedback! I don't have a public link to show it yet but I'm planning to create a dev server soon (for now you will need to install it and run it to see it), at the end it will look like: https://jrgame.herokuapp.com But you will see the login screen first which in the server side will connect to the DB and all the players sync was done with Colyseus. I saw comments from people looking for Colyseus integrated with a DB engine (in this case I've chosen MySQL), so at least that part should be useful. I really hope this help more than one person, maybe someone like me who would love to get this as starting point. Best, Damian Reply

Hello everyone You know the character guessing game that is usually played with friends, right? You know, the game which we write the characters on paper and then stick them on our forehead. During the pandemic process, in order to be able to play this game remotely with my friends, I have developed the Browser version of the Who Am I game. Link: https://play-whoami.com/ Technologies I used while developing this game: NodeJs for Backend, Ionic for Frontend (AngularJS Framework), HTML, and SCSS for Style. And of course, Socket.io to ensure the connection between the players. Below you can see screenshots of the game. Thanks in advance for the feedback!

We are currently building our games platform and we're looking for quick, bite-sized games to add to our growing list of open-source titles. If anyone's interested, feel free to drop us an e-mail at [email protected] with your HTML5 game portfolio and we'd be happy to discuss. Thanks

hello i want to make a online multiplayer online card game using phaser. CAn you please help me in this that from where i would start??

Some time ago, we launched what turned out to be a really popular browser game: TANX. It's an online tank battle game and it's designed to be all about instant mayhem and fun. But we always felt as though it wasn't pushing WebGL hard enough. So we've spent the last few months revamping it. Here's the result: It's now using the PBR (physically based rendering) support in PlayCanvas. The level, tanks and power ups have all been rebuilt from scratch. So, it's the same great gameplay but with fancy new graphics. Read more about it here. And if you want to play, head to: https://tanx.io Please send us your feedback and suggestions. Want to help us out? We'd really appreciate a retweet: https://twitter.com/playcanvas/status/798871630323843072 See you on the battlefield.

Hello everybody! I want to share a Goblin Base Server - an open-source scalable backend based on Node.js, offers: Profiles persisting Cloud functions Real-time multiplayer and many more Preamble. It was developed for about 3 years for internal use of my studio - a PvP card battlers, PvP tower defense and many more games with various PvP mechanics along with simple match-3 games. After some time studio changed direction towards casual & hyper-casual and backend was doomed to be thrown into a trash can. To prevent it I and few of my colleagues adopted the technology(with the consent of all parties of course) and open-sourced it. Now it represents a stack for rapid building of backends for games & apps. Also as far, as it has zero funding, we offer paid support and managed cloud. Check out demo game made with Phaser 3 here: https://github.com/red-machine-games/clash-of-cats-game Get the server itself from here: https://github.com/red-machine-games/goblin-base-server Also, we have a ready-to-use javascript SDK: https://github.com/red-machine-games/goblin-javascript-asset Learn how to deploy it at DigitalOcean from this blog post: https://blog.gbase.tech/blogs/engineering/20191025-up-and-running-goblin-base-server-and-digitalocean/ Hope it will be useful.

A friend of mine and myself just recently graduated from the Ironyard(a full-stack web development boot camp) and have begun work on our final project, choosing to do a game through Phaser. My friend had already begun work on the game and had it working, but not to the scale we wished to bring it. The end goal was to use Nodejs to navigate through a login, sign up, and game page, saving the user info(as well as the game state) to a mongoose/mongodb. We also wanted to use socket.io to make it multiplayer, working on mobile and desktop. In its state before beginning this endevour, it had six game states(Boot, Preloader, MainMenu, level outside, level house) all as functions with prototypes, rendered by placing them in scripts in the head of the index.html file and then running a script to add all these to the game state manager on the windows load. link here https://github.com/AHarryHughes/Top-Down-Shooter/tree/master When we added the Node.js server, we had to add all the game and Phaser files to the static directory in nodejs, serving them up to the browser, the problem with this is that now we were unable to modularize the code. I attempted to utilize Requirejs but it can't seem to find my src file instead I just get an error reading "404 main.src not found" when my src="main.js" inside the script. That current code is here https://github.com/AHarryHughes/Top-Down-Shooter/tree/modPt3 I have also seen that browsers are starting to support type=module in scripts and am thinking this may be a path for better modularization of our game, but I'm looking for advice on the subject if anybody has experience using it. Another problem I see in the distance is saving the game to the MongoDB server, it is a wave based game utilizing tower defense and gun purchasing, so the only thing to save would be which wave, what tower is placed and where, as well as what guns the player has. I'm having trouble seeing how the phaser game will be able to communicate with the server. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I'm new to this blog but I've gathered a lot of helpful information thus far from other posts on this subject, but it seems my problem might be a little more specific than any other posts I've read, if I'm wrong in this, a point in the right direction would help just as much, thank you.

Hi, I have a nodjs application that is currently saved in Windows 2012 R2 server using IISnode with IIS 8.5. I am getting a 404 File or directory not found error, however nothing is being recorded in the error logs. When I run this locally I have no issues and the game runs well. Thinking it could be a permissions issue, I decided to provide temporary read/write access, however that didn't seem to make a difference. I also confirmed that the links are all correct in terms of where files are sitting. Here is my server side code: var PORT = process.env.PORT || 8080; var express = require('express'); var app = express(); var http = require('http'); var path = require('path'); var util = require("util"); var server = require('http').createServer(app); var compression = require('compression'); //Get required classes xyLocation = require("./xyLocation").xyLocation; app.use(compression()); //Compress all routes app.use('/client', express.static(__dirname + '/client')); app.use('/js', express.static(__dirname + '/js')); app.use('/css', express.static(__dirname + '/css')); app.use('/sounds', express.static(__dirname + '/sounds')); app.use('/images', express.static(__dirname + '/images')); // Routing app.get('/', function(request, response) { response.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, 'index.html')); }); server.listen(PORT); console.log('Starting server on port '+ PORT); var io = require('socket.io')(server,{}); io.sockets.on('connection', function(socket) { ...

Hi, Is it possible to run babylonjs and nodejs on server side(without a window) to draw RenderTargetTexture? I notice there is NullEngine for server side scenario and headless-gl in npm for OpenGL binding. Thanks.

Hello! I am sharing my project template builds which tends to try out if worth trying out to develop game projects for prototyping things. I made a Nodjes project build script for easy way to setup the project on local pc build develop. The build is babel es5/6 javascript. I used gulp task build for auto scripts. Gulp default task will build the files and start a server. Just need to install nodejs and run command line. If you have Visual Studio Code that is setup by the project. Those projects are build to compile into bundle.js to put everything in to one file for client since loading and creating each scripts is time consuming. Here the simple project test build work folder. https://github.com/Lightnet/project-phaser3-dev Simple Example game. I made another project that is multiplayer network but still a bit buggy and few messy code script that will try to clean up later. It base on lance-gg client and server. I ported the spaaace game github to used Phaser 3.x to render the game. There are links references and credits in the readme.md file. https://github.com/Lightnet/project-phaser3-prototype It just a space ship shooter game. As 2D physics for phaser 3.4.0 server side it doesn't have it. 2D physics is very simple collision using lance-gg package.

The project I am working in is a multiplayer node.js game using socket.io to communicate where the renderer will be node.js. In order to correctly import my dependencies to the browser i am using browserify. I am trying to use the Entity-Component architecture to design my game and in doin g so wanted to have a "render component" on each game object. The problem is that I cannot use PIXI code on the server side of node.js This is something what i wanted my architecture to look like. A GameObject with multiple components (ex: PhysicsComponent, RenderComponent) in order to follow the Entity-Component architecture and design this game well. In my eyes the code should be able to run on the server and the client so that way the server can be authoritative in the state of the game. The problem is that PIXI code cannot be run on the server side of node.js because a window object is not defined. So here is the question : How am I intended to write gameObject rendering Code using Pixi.js? Is it supposed to be purely client side, and if so how am I supposed to handle GameObject specific rendering and such? I have been searching for several days and can find no answers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi guys! For a while now I am building a MMORPG in Node JS and HTML5. So far so good and things run fine on my laptop. But I am facing serious latency issues while running my game from my Virtual Private Server. For example, the ping locally is 0.01ms and the ping to my server is 30ms-40ms. A big difference but that difference is causing my game not to run smoothly at all. I figured I made a mistake with the way I communicate from the client to the server since I see a lot of different techniques. But I am facing the edge right now, I do not know what way to go and how to solve these latency issues. Google brought up some decent results but none that really helped me. I'll add my two most important files down here so you guys can have a look. To give you an idea how I work, this is how I am doing it right now. On the VPS there are 4 Node JS apps running in the background. These are (in my terminology) a database server, a resource server, an authentication server and of course, the game server. I'll explain their functionality down here: - The database server is a secured app that holds all game data. Like players, items, monsters, e.t.c. The server has several routes built in like /getallcharacters (fictive bytheway) which will return a JSON object of all characters in the game. - The authentication server is also secured. It is seperated from the game because it was meant to be the only place where users can send their sign in data to. I based it on OAuth bytheway because it works similar. You send your username and password in a request and you'll get a token in return if your credentials are valid. It is also this token that can be used to return your account id. Which in return is being used by the data server to get specific account information. So with other words, when you request player-specific or even sensitive data from the data server, it will ask for your token instead of some number. This is done for security reasons. - The resource server is just a place where I gather all images, audio and such. Those can be accessed from anywhere. I really really hope anyone can help me with this. Oh and before anyone starts saying I should not just jump right into a MMORPG project. I got 10 years of programming experiences and I know my theories about networking and such. My own diagnoses are that I made some code design mistake. I just do not know what I can do to improve it. Any help would be really really appreciated! -TheBoneJarmer map.js server.js

It is regularly ask so I suggest that I use as server NodeJS + socket.IO. this therefore create a master server and workers according to the number of heart of the machine. This solution allows to distribute the load. Here is the Serveur.js var cluster = require('cluster'), _portSocket = 8080, _portRedis = 6379, _HostRedis = 'localhost'; if (cluster.isMaster) { var server = require('http').createServer(), socketIO = require('socket.io').listen(server), redis = require('socket.io-redis'); socketIO.adapter(redis({ host: _HostRedis, port: _portRedis })); var numberOfCPUs = require('os').cpus().length; for (var i = 0; i < numberOfCPUs; i++) { cluster.fork(); } cluster.on('fork', function(worker) { console.log('Travailleur %s créer', worker.id); }); cluster.on('online', function(worker) { console.log('Travailleur %s en ligne', worker.id); }); cluster.on('listening', function(worker, addr) { console.log('Travailleur %s écoute sur %s:%d', worker.id, addr.address, addr.port); }); cluster.on('disconnect', function(worker) { console.log('Travailleur %s déconnecter', worker.id); }); cluster.on('exit', function(worker, code, signal) { console.log('Travailleur %s mort (%s)', worker.id, signal || code); if (!worker.suicide) { console.log('Nouveau travailleur %s créer', worker.id); cluster.fork(); } }); } if (cluster.isWorker) { var http = require('http'); http.globalAgent.maxSockets = Infinity; var app = require('express')(), ent = require('ent'), fs = require('fs'), server = http.createServer(app).listen(_portSocket), socketIO = require('socket.io').listen(server), redis = require('socket.io-redis'); socketIO.adapter(redis({ host: _HostRedis, port: _portRedis })); app.get('/', function (req, res) { res.emitfile(__dirname + '/interface.php');}); socketIO.sockets.on('connection', function(socket, pseudo) { socket.setNoDelay(true); socket.on('nouveau_client', function(pseudo) { pseudo = ent.encode(pseudo); socket.pseudo = pseudo; try { socket.broadcast.to(socket.room).emit('nouveau_client', pseudo); } catch(e) { socket.to(socket.room).emit('nouveau_client', pseudo); } console.log('L\'utilisateur : '+socket.pseudo+' s\'est connecter'); }); socket.on('message', function(data) { socket.broadcast.to(socket.room).emit('dispatch', data); }); socket.on('exit', function(data) { socket.close();}); socket.on('room', function(newroom) { socket.room = newroom; socket.join(newroom); console.log('Le membre '+socket.pseudo+' a rejoint le domaine '+socket.room); socket.broadcast.to(socket.room).emit('dispatch', 'L\'utilisateur : '+socket.pseudo+' a rejoint le domaine : '+socket.room); }); }); } And to install Node: and install Redis server: and modules: The server runs. ------------------------ Client: <head> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost:8080/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script> </head> <body> <script> var socket = null; try { socket = io.connect(); console.log("socket: Ok!"); } catch(err) { console.error("Socket is out of service!"); } if(socket != null) { socket.emit('new_client', 'admin'); // use variable php (COOKIES, SESSION...) socket.on('message', function(data) { $('#zone_chat').prepend('' + data.pseudo + ': ' + data.message + '<br />'); }); socket.on('new_client', function(pseudo) { $('#zone_chat').prepend('<em>' + pseudo + ' a rejoint le chat !</em><br />'); }); socket.on('moveObjet', function(data) { mesh = scene.getMeshByName(data.name); mesh.position = new BABYLON.Vector3(data.position); mesh.rotation = new BABYLON.Vector3(data.rotation); }); } </script> </body> The client runs.

Hi everyone, I am working on a multiplayer board game and am having trouble finding a suitable framework for handling client/server communication. I have been using NodeJS with socketIO which i like because the API is pretty straightforward, however, since it is not a dedicated game framework, I've had to write my own logic for having multiple rooms to handle multiple game instances and this got ugly really quick. I found this library, https://www.npmjs.com/package/rumpus, however, there is little documentation and activity. The other one that I've considered is this, https://github.com/gamestdio/colyseus, but I was wondering what others have used. Since this is a 2d board game, with users simply taking turns, performance is not a huge deal and I'd like to keep it as minimal as possible. This is really just a learning project so I am super concerned about things like server authentication, etc. Thank you for any help!
