Strongly Typed Multiplayer Game Programming
summary
Builds a working caveman multiplayer port of gorillaz.base using TypeScript, WebSockets and Socket IO and shows the actual code that makes socket messages type safe. Wraps the loose library types with generic wrappers so socket events carry concrete interfaces, uses type guards for entity variants, and shares a contract directory between client and server. Demo shows two players sending angle and velocity for throws, the system compiles and enforces types, and the wrapped API reduces scattering of changes.
