Haven't been active a lot... image url)
It's because I'm finally implementing real time multiplayer. I got the socket.io server to
connect
successfully! But the issue is that theSocket Event
behavior doesn't seem to work... Yet,Emit To Socket
works, tested the behaviors.If anyone knows how to use these networking behaviors, feel free to leave a suggestion here. :)
Still awaiting for a tutorial for this. :3

If you guys want to test the project in it's current state, here it is! :D

Oh wait.... The socket.io server works much more differently than I thought. ๐ฆ
Still attempting to make a real-time multiplayer game.

Awesome work! Really impressive what you've been able to pull off!
-
Watched some YouTube tutorials and basics, did a little bit of web searching and harnessed the power of
HTTP Requests
.
:)These are the files which will soon contain all the user-generated data on BotPixel Games. Meaning that all your data is safe on our servers and can be accessed on other devices. :D
Opens up a lot of possibilities, stayed tuned for following updates coming soon in the next few weeks!

While testing my game, I accidentally ran into somebody being in the game! ๐ฑ

Hi, can you also do local wifi hotspot multiplayer mode for this? I really hope it is possible to do local multiplayer games in hyperpad similar to what you can play in nintendo switch especially in the context of classroom based educational games where I can see hyperpad thriving in the hands of 21st century teachers. Thanks for your response in advance sir.
-
Local hotspot...? Like hosting via device? I mean, it kinda already does that.
When you join the server, it sees if there are any available servers available. If there is a server available (a player hosting or playing), it will automatically force the user to join it. Otherwise, it will create a server and wake the server up.
This is why it takes a while to connect to the server when nobody else was online for a while. :3
Unless you meant hosting a game on your device, I can do that. I would call these "rooms" and every user can only create and host 1 room. There can be a password on your room so only people who know the password can join.
-
Local hotspot, only lets you join others connected to the same wifi, connection is not via a server so that local wifi multiplayer would still work even if the network isn't even connected to the internet. As far as I know, hyperPad only lets you connect to servers, and does not have local wifi/hotspot/Bluetooth multiplayer.
-
Oh, you mean that...
Yeah, it's not possible... (yet?) -

Oh my gosh, my mind is blown by how much I can learn from this... ๐จ
The HTTP Request behavior will be a game changer. I can fix all the glitches with the <null> accounts in my game, learned how to create new urls... This stuff can get very dynamic, I don't have to keep using the same urls.
This means that I can actually manage storage in a way that each account has it's own pathway and identification rather than sharing the same pathway with one another. This fixes many of the weird <null> bugs players can see in-game.
To sum it all up, game is getting an another maintence update that will fix many bugs and open up a huge variety of possibilities. ๐๐ฌ

Custom Avatars are coming!
-
This is what our BotPixel servers look like right now. (We use
Google Firebase
to store content online)You can already see awesome new features that are coming along. :)
Once we release a new update, content will be flooding like crazy. Don't worry, none of this costs any money. ;)
-
Unfortunately, the accounts of existing users would have to be cleared out because the servers are going to be using a new format and structure. (This is to fix the <null> bugs you would usually see on anyone's profile.)
-
The server of BotPixel Games has been
moved
, so the project is not playable until an update fixes it.And here's an another peice of cake from the update:
ยป Every player will have their own ID key. Even if they change their username and password, they will still be the same player they are.This is so the servers can track which player is who, and so your data is not affected.
-
I'm fixing up the UI, will finally apply some UI settings very soon.
-
Going out with this new idea. ๐ฌ
Users will be able to create
custom maps
. For map submissions, activities, or maybe just for fun. ๐คThis will take a while to implement though...
-
I changed many things of the map editor. Maps will now be block based, this also brings up a method of
chunking
, maps will load chunk by chunk similarly to the games of Minecraft and Terraria, this just reduces lag and uses less memory.
