Multiplayer has always been possible

Letti42

multiplayer has been possible for longer than most people here have been using the site

i’ll be impressed when someone creates a real game using multiplayer and not some concept thats been remade a hundred times over the past 2 years

true... though dots would probably be the closest comparison, what i could do is make a tic tack toe which is p2p but the problem would be hosting it... I'd probably need a way to generate room keys (which isn't that hard) but then also setup when the lobby is full and the latency will make that soooo shit, my compromise of me being lazy AF would be to generate the code based of time and then host all the session data within the host key.... but I've already had my fair share of limited multiplayer modules, and let's just say i don't want to go anything near it.... at least for a few more months, but if i inspired anyone I'll jump and bump up a all in one tic tac toe game in a class, though it'll be up to you to intergrate my theroy on setting up p2p

Varrience dots isn't really much of a game. it's basically just moving around in an area as a circle, except you can see other people do the same. i was working on a pvp game, but i didn't figure out how to reduce latency without limiting it to 1 group of 4 players at a time before cdo deleted my account.

I mean, I did create one, but I used app lab so that I could use tables. Game Lab gave me an error when I tried to do the same thing: https://studio.code.org/projects/applab/rquS8KT5d6Wtf4WldjB9FtGjKvze7OCPoySU1QG0Lpk/

ASmartCoder No, this is exactly what I’m talking about. This is a concept. This is not a real game.

You can try my method by remixing and adding 2 extra icons + players.

ASmartCoder

Letti42 But if I allowed multiple people to play, wouldn't it be considered a game? Also what concept are you talking about?

[WUT] Adam

ASmartCoder he's talking about the one where you control either a man icon or a woman icon.

Letti42

ASmartCoder It’s no more than a concept that multiplayer can be accomplished. as adam said dots, moving around on a screen isn’t really a game.. if anything, Photop back when it was on CDO or even WutWorld were more multiplayer than this

ASmartCoder

I dont understand . . ., wouldnt that make it multiplayer? Another person can join and it will update on both of your screens. Unless you're talking about a full on game, I can try to make that.

if you guys want you guys could remix my snake game and add multiplayer to that, although its code is super ugly and it uses sprites so i dont think its work it but if you want to
slither.io
its probably better to make your own
