Requirements:

Node.js version with async/await.

Client Prediction and Server Reconciliation

In client_files/js/views/GameView.js

• Client prediction starts with messageHistory.enqueue(message); lines in the function render() (Note that render() is essentially the view setup)

• Server reconciliation is in the updatePlayerSelf(data) function

Entity Interpolation

In client_files/js/views/GameView.js

• In updatePlayerOther(data)
• Line 543 calls the update function defined in In client_files/js/components/player-other.js

Changing number of required players

Number of required players can be changed by restarting the server by changing the number in server/config.js.

Number of required players can be dynamically changed without restarting the server by typing client.changeNumRequiredPlayers(4) in the browser console where 4 is the new number of players to start the game with.

client may not be defined on your console. In this case you may need to change the context of the console. You can do this in chrome by clicking the following context shown in the below image.
