Nayuki-web-published-code VS peerjs

My works over the years are accumulated on https://www.nayuki.io/ . Lately I finished writing a new PNG library ( https://www.nayuki.io/page/png-library ), and now I'm revamping a DEFLATE library ( https://www.nayuki.io/page/deflate-library-java ).

https://www.nayuki.io/ seems good usually.

But yes, i would mainly recommend the standard lib of the language in question, but not all programming languages have a "standard lib" you can read.

Me too - I enjoy reviewing my existing work, and over months and years, I slowly modify my code to become shorter or clearer. Some evidence exists in the history of https://github.com/nayuki/Nayuki-web-published-code .

It's funny you call yourself "pessimizer", because you seem to be good at optimizing.

this app is using peerjs to connect peers over a webrtc connection. check out thier docs for more info. with webrtc, things like file-transfer, should be very performant compared to cloud storage providers... especially over LAN. network speed doesnt seems to be an issue i have experienced.

I'm using the client-side PeerJS https://peerjs.com/ library for networking. As the name may imply, a direct connection is established between two peers using WebRTC via "handshake" through an intermediary server they host - and, they provide source for the server as well. I have found it to be quite reliable, thus far.

You kind of sound like a beginner. The browser APIs are a bit painful to work with. It might be easier to use PeerJS: https://peerjs.com/

If you want you can use Preact. PreactJS is a lightweight alternative to ReactJS, designed for high performance and compatibility. is often used in applications where performance is critical and has a small footprint.

This opens up a lot of neat possibilities, and fortunately I found a very easy JavaScript library for handling multiplayer called PeerJS. The way you can send packets from player to player is very simple and something even a beginner to JavaScript could understand.

You might be able to eliminate the VPS by making it P2P using something like PeerJS [1]. PeerJS provides a free shared connection broker server.

Note: peerjs is a good starting point!

We use peer.js module to create a WebRTC connection between clients

Now that we have all the required boilerplate we can start building the actual game. For the communications between peers we are going to use PeerJS a peer-to-peer library built on top of WebRTC.
