Multiplayer-Arcade is a freamwork designed to make it easier for you to write multiplayer games so that you don't have to worry about all the difficult issues related to communication between players. With this framework you can write your own multiplayer game almost as easily as if you were writing a regular game in the Arcade library.
Everything you need to write your own multiplayer game is in game.py.
To start the server you need to run the server.py file. (you don't need to know how it works but of course it would be better if you knew how it works)
The client.py file is used to start game and connect to the server, if you want run it without console, you can change extension to .pyw
- sending client input status from client to server using UDP protocol
- sending server output like the player's position using the UDP protocol
- Creating a new player object after client join on client and server side
- Delete player object after client disconect on client and server side
- Chat using TCP protocol
- Integration with the Arcade library
- Extrapolation and interpolation of data received from the server using the UDP protocol in order to reduce latency, so that the server can send data to the client less frequently and the player's movement is still smooth.
- Sending players stats using TCP protocol
- Displaying players stats after pressing the TAB button
- Integration with PIP
I would like to thank Caleb Hattingh for his performance at PyCon in Australia, he helped me a lot in creating this framework. I would also like to thank everyone involved in the development of the Arcade library.
