PixiesPixel

A cross-platform realtime online multiplayer PvP game made with Godot.

Try it out: executables for Windows, MacOS, Linux, and Android are available.

Instructions

Download the necessary files for your operating system (there is no need to install any other additional files/dependencies)

• To test locally:

  1. Launch two instances of the game on your machine (MacOS users might have to rename the other file), leave the default IP address as it is, host on one instance first, then join on the other

• To connect with players on the same Wifi network:

  1. To host a game: Simply press host and you should automatically be transported to the Lobby. Your private IPv4 address should also appear on the top left hand corner
  2. To join a game: Enter the host’s IPv4 address. Press join, and if connected successfully, you should be transported to the Lobby (the connection ought to be almost instant)

• To connect with players outside of your Wifi network:

  1. You will need to either set up port forwarding to allow your IP address to be publicly available to networks outside of your LAN
  2. Or use a Virtual Private Network on-demand client like Hamachi to extend your LAN-like environment (recommended; tested and working)

Naming Conventions

• Classes/scenes/nodes: pascal case <MyScene>
• Variables/functions: snake case <my_var>
• Signals: past tense <door_opened>
