Real-Time Server Communication with Socket.IO

Develop a client-server relationship between your Phaser games and Express server APIs for a multiplayer game experience. In this course, we will walk you through using Socket.IO, a JavaScript library, to establish bi-directional, real-time communications between game clients across a server. Through this, you will be able to take a client-side RPG and turn it into a true MMORPG that communicates player actions and more across multiple instances of the game for every player.

You will learn how to:

Alter an Express server to use Socket.IO connections and messages
Set up a game manager to control game logic from the server
Control how players spawn and despawn upon joining or disconnecting from the server
Communicate player movement, attacking, and more across multiple game instances
Spawn chests, monsters, and more using the server to sync changes
Implement basic PVP mechanics
