Networked Platformer Proof of Concept in Golang

This is a thrown together remix of the Ebiten platformer example. The difference is that this allows you to host a Websocket server and connect with native or web clients.

!!!Warning!!!

This has bugs, sub-optimal networking code and poor error handling. This was hastily put together to show that this is possible with Go. Use this more as a loose guide to getting started!

!!!Warning!!!

Install

go get github.com/silbinarywolf/networkplatformer-go

Requirements

• Golang 1.10+
• Gorilla Websockets (for native client and server)
• GopherJS Websockets (for JavaScript client)

How to use

These commands were all tested on Windows, running via Git Bash.

Build and run server

go build && ./networkplatformer-go.exe --server

Build and run client

go build && ./networkplatformer-go.exe

Build web client (requires GopherJS is installed)

GOOS=linux gopherjs build

Then open "index.html" in your browser of choice to run it. (Tested Chrome and Firefox)
