Client prediction #1

Open Ulydev opened 7 years ago

Ulydev commented 7 years ago

Right now, movement looks a bit choppy due to server lag. I would like to implement client-side prediction, but I'm struggling to fully understand the structure of this project. Do you have any advice on how to get started with this feature?

Also, this means the server and the client would need to have common files (e.g. collision manager). How would one implement that? Thanks in advance!

Hi @Ulydev, thanks for your interested.

You'll basically need to have a look at these files:

As server and client are written in JavaScript, you can have a separated folder for shared code in the root, for example, and require it on both sides as necessary.

I'm curious the approach you want to pursue. I actually wanted to do the same using "Timelines", but it doesn't seem to be performant nor reliable. (didn't spent much time on it though)

Cheers!
