Multiplayer

TScratch exposes a simple, event-driven multiplayer layer suitable for lightweight real-time games. The API abstracts sockets into named events: emit events to the server and listen for events from the server.

Client example

import { Multiplayer } from 'tscratch';

const connection = new Multiplayer('http://localhost:8080');
connection.on('welcome', (data) => {
    console.log('Server:', data);
});

Server example

import { Server } from 'tscratch/server';

const server = new Server({ port: 8080 });
server.onJoin((client) => {
    server.broadcast('welcome', 'Welcome to our server!', [client]);
});

Room features (see API):

• create/join/leave rooms
• per-player state updates and room-wide broadcasts
• optional room passwords and basic room management helpers

The multiplayer system is intentionally small and opinionated to keep it easy to reason about in classroom settings. For production-scale networking, consider integrating a dedicated backend.
