tiny proof of concept of a node js multi user game, created to support a twitter argument :o)
minimal proof of concept of server communication and multiple user in the same room note : no gameplay to speak of, but all the required technical plumbing is there
cd to the directory using node command prompt , launch with
node mud.js 8000
open multiple http://localhost:8000/index.html
you can move your X with cursor keys , other player positions are showed with o
poc remarks: I spent far too much time losing myself in the options of jquery.ajax(), I should have tested very simply all the method call types I would have required
next step : gameplay :) rules validation would need that action type is sent to the server ( depends on gameplay type implemented )
