ascii-bomb-ecs-mp

Online multiplayer version of the ascii-bomb-ecs game that uses peer-to-peer rollback networking. Available as a web build!

Configuration

A matchbox server is needed to connect players. Without any configuration the one at wss://match-0-6.helsing.studio is used (thanks to johanhelsing).

Additionally, if a direct connection cannot be made between clients, a TURN relay server is used through which all communication happens. The default TURN server is hosted in Frankfurt and has limited bandwidth, which can translate to high ping times for clients that are far away or unavailability if the monthly bandwidth is depleted.

Web build

From the root folder run:

wasm-pack build --target web --release

Then move the contents of web and the assets folder into pkg. After that, from the pkg folder you can start a local server by running:

# if basic-http-server is not yet installed
cargo install basic-http-server

basic-http-server

After that the game should be accessible on localhost:4000.
