9/29 Status on Server Backend

Woo! The server is being worked on. Let's go over these things first, before we get to the exciting stuff.


The server's backend is Sockets.IO on NodeJS. I picked this because it makes my life easier and opens a lot of possibilities.

Pluses:

  • Easily Install-able

  • Web Sockets

    • Allows web browsers to communicate as well


  • Open source (Allowing modifications to the server!)


Minuses:

  • Not really any lol


Now that we have the server stuff out of the way, time to introduce what has been finished

Connecting to servers

Clients can connect, test connections, and join servers from In-Game

(Text) Chat

Upon clients connecting, they can then chat with other users in the server!

(Server sends the message to all players, then the client turns it into a textbox)

And while that might not seem like too much, there's much more happening behind the scenes. Stay tuned for more updates!
