Getting Started

First, make sure GenGame server is started. See how to start here.

import { GenGame } from './gen_game'

const genGame = new GenGame('localhost', 4000)

await genGame.connect()
await genGame.authenticateDevice('your-device-id')
const { match_id } = await genGame.createMatch() // <---- save this match id so you can let other player join this game

genGame.onChangeState((payload: object) => {
  console.log('there is update state with payload:', payload)
})

await genGame.setState({ move_x: 110 })

Let the 2nd player join the match:

import { GenGame } from './gen_game'

const genGame = new GenGame('localhost', 4000)

await genGame.connect()
await genGame.authenticateDevice('your-device-id')

await genGame.joinMatch('some-match-id')

await genGame.setState({ chat: 'hi, from player 2' })
