node.js server and PlayCanvas client using websockets. Simple to use for multiplayer games.

Allows to establish WebSocket connection between your node.js server and playcanvas client, and exchange with messages.

• ws - WebSockets
• node-uuid - GUID generator for unique socket IDs

npm install m.net.ws

In PlayCanvas add new script asset /client/m.net.ws.js (copy from this repo), and add it to root node.

var WebSocketServer = require('m.net.ws');
var server = new WebSocketServer({ port: 8080 });

server.on('connection', function(client) {
    console.log('client connected', client.id);

    client.on('hello', function(data) {
        console.log(data.name + ' said \'hello\'');

        client.send('welcome', {
            message: 'welcome ' + data.name
        });
    });
});

Add this to your script assets and add to root node.

Make sure you run server(node.js) script first.

pc.script.create('echo', function (context) {

    var Echo = function (entity) {
        this.entity = entity;
    };

    Echo.prototype = {
        initialize: function () {
            // if you running server not locally, then change url
            var socket = this.socket = new m.net.WebSocket({ url: 'ws://localhost:8080/' });

            socket.on('connect', function() {
                console.log('connected');

                socket.send('hello', {
                    name: 'Guest'
                });
            });

            socket.on('welcome', function(data) {
                console.log(data);
            });
        },

        update: function (dt) { }
    };

    return Echo;
});
