Gideros multiplayer 2015

totebo

Hi guys,

Has anyone released an online multiplayer Gideros game? If so, which platform did you opt for?

Also, has anyone released a local WiFi only multiplayer game with Gideros using Gideros Unite?

Cheers,

Niclas

I did local WiFi, using Gideros Unite that modified a bit only at the join server part.

This is the game :

Thanks @tkhnoman, really nice game! Good use of WiFi multiplayer, too.

Thanks guys.
It also works on iOS, and even between mobile and desktop. (Well, naturally)

Things to be considered is to frequently ping each other, because sometime the connection might goes weird, or things like home button being pressed.
So for example if ping timed out at 3 second, then pause the game and give "Connection error" at the screen. Like Dota.

I'm failed to bring this online, because even at local, it lags much.
Probably if it's only 4 character like Smash Bros, it works better.

Not "real-time" multiplayer, but we made a casual game in which player can "attack" another one while they're offline (think Clash of Clans).

Tech used:
Gideros
Self-hosted server (nginx, nodejs, REST api)

This game is made for a brand in Vietnam, so it's not available on other stores.

Hi! Which library you used for the connection? Luasocket (socket.lua from Gideros)?
And in nodejs: http or net library for the server?

Thanks!

It's UrlLoader.
And as we used REST api, the connection is http.
