I started to work on a multiplayer game. The game itself
won't be for a full release, it's more for a learning
purpose than actually releasing a full developed game. Of
course, i want to make a functional game, but that all the
game will be, just functional, for now.
The development of the game will serve the learning purpose. I'm looking to learn about game servers, how servers manage players input, and sending the response back to client. Basically server-client proccess of multiplayer game.
For server side development, I use C language, and let me tell you, developing server, or anything basically in pure C, is one hell of a thing to do. The amount stuff one have to do manually, is concerning. Now i will definetly appriaciate not having to deal with strings manually when i use anything else than C XD.
What im planning to achive:
- Have the player enter its IGN when first entering the game.
- Connect the player to the available session.
- Have multiple players on the same game session.
- Have players moving around and have the player movements showed to other players.
For a reference, im using maple story, an 2000s 2D
multiplayer game. I like the simplistic style of it, and
the fact that is 2D
OMG. I have no words, the world, the characters,
everything is perfect. Jinx/Powder is incredibly
relatable, one of my favourites characters of all medium,
i love her so much. I even considering setting this
website's thematic to the arcane one.
