2D multiplayer engine shooter

[fakeblitz]

My objective is to create a multiplayer 2d shooter web based(nothing for mobile), i have some experience using phaser and got good experience on java/c#, it will have collisions, bullets physics(drop, possible ricochet etc)

Problem is i keep researching on the "best" game engine possible for me since most people want cross-platform engines and simple networking, i want more of a sophisticated system that has client side prediction, client interpolation possibly using this framework(garage.io).

Which engine suits my need?

Thank you

No one in a similar situation?

AFAIK none of the major js game frameworks include features for multiplayer.

Since you're looking to use phaser, node.js would be the best bet. Use a websocket implementation for the server. Since you're using JS for both client and server, you can share some parts of your logic with server and client. This isn't anything you should trust a framework to handle for you. You need to plan it out and work out the problems yourself.

Thank you, after researching a lot, i also reached that conclusion as well, thank you for the assurance

@Fatalist is right.  You normally need to write your own solution with socket.io or WebRTC.

However, this project came out just last week, http://incheon.gg/

Is it a good fit ?

Throw my 2 cents here.

My engine just only handle bullet physics calculation, not rendering, not collision,... tested on client side (Chrome ES6), but not server side (you can test it yourself if you want)

It has lots heck of math function really useful , currently don't have any documentation cuz lazy ...

It can use for other things too, like graph drawing, multitasking (not parallel execution), ...

Demo (it use PIXI for rendering, you can modify the code snippet on the right (made by ace.c9.io))

To clear bullets press both button "Clear projectile" and "Clear task" (nasty bugs will occur if you don't press both)

My engine is currently in heavy development and update frequently so I don't guarantee it will work on your project

Any feedback is greatly appreciated

P.S: Just for fun, paste in this code (don't delete CreateShot01 and wait() ):

function* example(x, y) {
  x = x || Shmup.advanced.data().scene.size.x / 2;
  y = y || Shmup.advanced.data().scene.size.y / 3.75;
  var angle = 0;
  while (true) {
    for (var i = 1; i <= 8; i ++) {
      var obj = CreateShot01(x, y, 4, angle);
      Shmup.util.task(testing, [obj], {update: true, reset: false});
      angle += 91 / 4;
    }
    yield* wait(1);
  }
}
Shmup.util.task(example, [], {update: true, reset: false});

var lol = 1, lol1 = 0;
function* testing(obj) {
  yield* wait(50);
  //obj.angle += Shmup.math.angle.degree.radian(lol);
  //lol += 1.075;
  obj.angle *= 2;
  obj.angle += Shmup.math.angle.degree.radian(lol1);
  lol1 += 0.1;
}
