Multiplayer Gaming Architecture and Design
summary
A playable multiplayer Space Invaders clone built in under two weeks, demo capped at 10 players, uses Phaser 3 for rendering and client physics, a Node server with p2 for server-side physics, and Ably as the pub/sub/WebSocket layer. Server publishes a 100 ms tick containing positions, bullets and scores; each client sends input on a per-client channel and authenticates with a token that returns a client ID. Source and notes are on GitHub.
