Phaser 3 - Real-Time Multiplayer example with Physics (MatterJS and Arcade)
This example is using @geckos.io/phaser-on-nodejs
which is very slow tedious. If you need to run Phaser's Arcade Physics on the Server, I recommend using arcade-physics
. I will not update this example anymore.
This example is running on NodeJS on Heroku (Free Dyno in Europe) which causes the example sometimes to take about 1 minute to load.
Why does this game example not use geckos.io?
Well there are two reasons:
Watch it on YouTube
This example includes 2 different games. One with MatterJS and the other with Arcade. The MatterJS game has only one level. The Arcade one is a simple platformer game with 3 levels.
So in total, you can play 4 different levels. For each level, the server creates a new room, which creates a new Phaser instance, which are completely isolated from each other. There can be up to 4 players per room.

To clone and run this template, you'll need Git and Node.js (which comes with npm) installed on your computer.
You also need to install some additional packages since this example uses Node-Canvas. See here.
From your command line:
