UGAHacks5

Made at UGAHacks 5.

Socket stuff

-> is from the server to the user <- is from the user to the server

User first gets into the webpage

-> 'setup' with world = {size, objects, static_objects} -> 'leaderboard' with leaderboard = {top = [{name: score}, ...], current}

User enters name and clicks "Play!"

<- 'ready' with player name -> 'ready' with player objectId

Gameplay

<- 'key state' with keys = {forward, backwards, left, right, shoot, turbo} -> 'objects initial' with initialized = {id: object, ...} -> 'objects updated' with updated = {id: object, ...} -> 'objects removed' with removed = [id, ...]

User dies

-> 'death' with nothing - reload page

User leaves

<- 'disconnect' with reason, remove user from game data

TODO

• splash page in front of the game
  • top and current time leaderboard shown
  • two people cant have the same name
  • dont need to check name for bad words
  • send over to the server and send over an object id to the user
  • the user will then send over an 'OK' signal
• main game
  • asteroids and players can be pushed around with lasers
  • iframes when you spawn and 1.5s after
    • fly in from the sides of the map
  • black holes that suck
  • death zones on the sides of the map, die after ~2 seconds
    • based on number of players maybe
  • scoreboard based on total time alive, maybe kills based on last laser hit
  • iframes on hit if its not funny
  • ships bounce off each other && asteroids bounce off each other
  • three types of ships maybe
    • ram, normal, blaster -X movement (Complete:Still needs testing) -X w: boost forward, s: boost backward and half the rate, a: rotate left, d: rotate right -X turbo boost: accelerate 2x as fast, 10s cooldown -X rotation speed -X boost speed
  • lasers
    • 1s cooldown
  • asteroids
    • keep number consistent
    • if one goes off screen, another takes its place
  • black holes
    • get in the middle => get smaller and die
    • radius of effect
  • go back to splash page when you die with name autofilled
  • add grid to game map
  • collision checking(server-side) within 9 block square of grid
  • blast zone checker
• references

Actual TODO

• leaderboard
• collision
  • bouncing
  • fix the way it is now
• set laser to not collide with parent
• drawing death zone on client, if statements on server
• player timers, like boost and lasers
• asteroids spawning
• up rotation velocity
• cap max velocity on ships
• make lasers faster?
• randomize stars
• camera border?
• death screen
• optimizations
  • network
  • drawing
• client side entity updating instead of relying on server communication fully (think of source engine multiplayer)
• make death zone very clear
• more zoomed in / smaller map
• make it easier to locate other players or have a coordinate system (A5, B1, etc.)
• make lasers more noticeable
• asteroids bigger
• able to destroy asteroids after a couple of shots
  • make it noticeable of how many hits it will take to destroy
• fix project on GCP (evan only)
• fix going to chat on 't' when on splash screen
• play on mobile
• aim and move with mouse?
  • distance away from mouse is speed?
• statistics (current/max number of players, average play time, highest score)
