Obsidio

Obsidio is an multiplayer online battle arena game that takes place in a single large world. Anyone who logs on can battle anyone else that's online at the same time. To play, you move around and shoot other players while collecting the in-game resource, Praesidium. Once you have enough Praesidium, you can build turrets and other structures to help you control the map.

Technical:

  • Made with NodeJS and Socket.IO
  • The states of all the objects are all instantiated, updated, and managed server side. All calculations are done server side.
  • The client merely sends intents to the server, which are processed. The server returns a series of JSON objects that hold the state of the world to the client for rendering.
  • The server holds authoritative determination over the positions and states of all the objects.

Setting Up:

This project requires node version 0.12 or greater. npm, bower and gulp should be installed globally on your system.

npm install
bower install
gulp

The project Gulpfile already has a few custom processes to run.

gulp            # will compile the JS and LESS assets

gulp js         # will compile only the JS assets

gulp less       # will compile only the LESS assets

gulp watch      # will watch the JS and LESS assets and compile them when
                # they are modified, recommended during development

gulp watch-js   # will only watch the JS assets

gulp watch-less # will only watch the LESS assets
