IO Template: A Multiplayer Game Template

This template was made to give game devs a jump-start on building their multiplayer games! It runs on a Node.js server, and the client is built with webpack. Both the server and the client are live reloaded when you make changes, so you can develop faster.

The template has a simple demo which uses Phaser, an HTML5 game framework, and Colyseus, a multiplayer game server, but you are not bound to using these 3rd party libraries. You can view the demo here: http://io-template.herokuapp.com

Getting Started

Start by cloning this repository:

git clone https://github.com/Loonride/io-template.git
cd io-template

Install all dependencies:

npm install

Start developing:

npm run dev

Then, navigate to http://localhost:3000 in your browser. If you get an error, simply wait a few seconds and refresh the page, because webpack is still building.

Deploying

On your server, do:

npm install

Then, do:

npm start

to run in production mode.
