[sashman]

Background

The skeleton files for network server and client need to be implemented. End result should allow multiple users to have their own session and see others move about the world.

What needs to be done

https://github.com/sashman/kingdomforge/blob/master/game.core.js

Check the game.core.js for an implementation.

How to do it

Step by step guide:

• Ping server to client, vice versa.
• Server side starting/running/ending game
• Pass player data (position, velocity) to server.
• Updating player coordinates on server side
• Account for time delays between clients
• Broadcast to all other players
• Client side received and render other players
