Hi there, so i built a fairly functional open world multiplayer game, however, when I first started building it, i built it as a singe player game and set up the variables and things i will need to be sent from the server in a way that it will easy to be converted into multiplayer. Today I dove into that adventure and right off the bat I am having issues with phaser and nodejs. To be insanely clear because any other thread I have found about this topic thinks everyone wants to do this, I do NOT want to run phaser on the server side, I just want to be able to use socket.io in my game and I cant right now since my game wont even load. This is the error it throws when I load my page, no matter what I do, always "Phaser is not defined" GET http://xxx.xxxx.xxx/assets/phaser.js 404 (Not Found) (index):214 Uncaught ReferenceError: Phaser is not defined My server that I am running on node: var express = require('express'); var app = express(); app.use(express.static('public')); app.get('/', function (req, res) { res.sendfile(__dirname + '/index.html'); }); app.listen(80, function () { console.log('Example app listening on port 80!'); }); I removed socket.io from it until I can actually get my index.html to load. I believe i have to use static directories, and I believe it works because I can load all the images from my assets directory (where phaser.js is) fine form my browser. In my index.html, phaser is called in my header as shown: <script type="text/javascript" src="assets/phaser.js"></script> Am I doing something wrong? ANY help is appreciated. I dont care how I get to the end product, I just want to be able to have a server side connection from every client to send and recieve variables on connection/disconnection. Before I switched to node, I was just using an apache server to run my index.html. Thanks for any help! P.s: Could this be a problem with express? I havent tried it with a standard node http server.
