Pls help with the implementation

Tue, 14 Aug 2018 21:13:37 +0000

Hello!

Could you help with the question. I create an online game and want to choose a online service.

Can I implement in AppWarp the following algorithm:

There are:

1) When start the application, permanent table creates with the characteristics of the character

2) In a certain scene, the player clicks on the "find an opponent"

3) Creates search "to find an opponent" by certain criteria

4) The battle begins.

5) Each player has his own ui module with buttons

Example scenario: the battle begins, the timer starts for each player. Player one pressed button A, another player pressed button B.

7) the following module takes values that were used by both players (for example: the character pressing the button A, inflicted damage and robbing the health of another player) and sends them to the server

8) Continues until the health of one of the players terminates

Is it possible to implement this with Appwarp?

And if you do not complicate from what should you start from the beginning?

Thank you

Claus W.

Making a live multiplayer game with Corona

Sat, 16 Jun 2018 02:54:35 +0000

Hey forums, I feel like this gets asked quite a lot, but I am also finding that with related questions to mine, I'm not finding the answer I need exactly. essentially, the color move tutorial is the closest app regarding what I want to accomplish... However, I don't want all the colored squares to be generated client side, I want for a user to be able to join and subscribe to a room and then have their character to be spawned/ created, however I am not entirely sure what the best means of accomplishing this would be and I haven't found a great ordeal of success with implementing APIs related to Corona. Thanks, Jarrad T.

How to make a real-time multiplayer mobile game with Corona SDK/Lua?

Tue, 19 Sep 2017 04:03:11 +0000

Hi,

I am new to AppWarp and I am interested in real-time multiplayer games. I was looking at the Color Move Tutorial which seems like exactly what I need for my game.

Background: The game I want to make is a 2d real-time multiplayer mobile racing game (4 players racing) and there will be objects coming in and out of the scene at random that the racers have to dodge. (Think of Fun Run)

My goal is to learn how to setup a matchmaking room and how to update each player's location on the other 3 players' devices (iOS/Android) while syncing the obstacles that are coming in at random times moving from right to left (see screenshot). I feel like the Color Move tutorial is a good place to start, the code walk-through seems pretty straightforward (how to update the player's coordinates).

My question is, what other things would I also need to consider for my real-time multiplayer game?
Are there any links to documentation that I would need to learn/review that would be helpful.
Would I need to do any cloud/server side scripting?
Handle authentication/security?
Write any custom game server?

I would like to use matchmaking and real-time and the players will be able to customize their character and have an inventory of player items.

I did do some research but just need some clarification with all this.
Thanks in advance! Sorry for the newbie question. Cheers!

How to pass a table with various values in it to other player in corona using Appwarp?

Tue, 06 Dec 2016 14:39:53 +0000

Hello there, I am trying to create a memory match game using corona and Appwarp. I have created a turn room and already did some part. Now i am facing some issues like, 1: How to send the initial setup of card sequences so both players have same sequence of cards on screen for memory match check. 2: How to send data from player 1 to player 2 without changing the turn of the players, this is required as suppose you did a match which needs to be reflected on the other player device too but player 1 will keep playng unless he did a no match turn. Thanks in Advance
