miltiplayer in Arcade with jacdac #1308

Open smfox10 opened 1 year ago

smfox10 commented 1 year ago

A few years ago it was possible to use jacdac protocol for multiplayer games with hardware (e.g. Meowbit), but now it is not possible? For example, this program https://arcade.makecode.com/84138-42853-06448-38206

Or is there another way to implement it, you can tell me.

With the addition of multiplayer they have not included a "separate screens" implementation. I'm in the same boat where I'm attempting to have two physical devices connected this way to create a multiplayer (turn based) application.

It seems the example code you have above works in the older editor: https://arcade.makecode.com/v0.15.16#editor

https://forum.makecode.com/t/current-controller-in-multiplayer/29548/2

I think as a super simple path I'd like to see a way to send a simple message between the two devices.
