joystick-mapper VS geckos.io

You will need: 1- joystick-mapper (download here: https://github.com/framp/joystick-mapper) 2- Bluetooth Controller 3- Windows PC or Mac PC 4- 7-zip or another File Unzipper

This is very neat but gamepad mapping can't be configured and the browser default "standard" mapping doesn't work very well (at least with my Xbox one controller).

If you visit chrome://flags you can enable "Restrict gamepad access" which will disable

Incidentally, I recently wrote a small crossplatform gamepad mapper you can use: https://github.com/framp/joystick-mapper/releases/tag/0.3.0

Configuration for psxparty here:

First, I would try exchange Socket.io over Geckos - https://github.com/geckosio/geckos.io.

I agree the scope is massive. I think a lot of people struggle with figuring out how to even get started with multiplayer dev, and I hope Hathora can be a useful tool for them.

Thanks for linking matchbox - I've been looking into https://github.com/geckosio/geckos.io as a way to integrate WebRTC into Hathora

https://github.com/pion/datachannel looks great! Thank you for sharing your project with the open source community.

I just starred it, it does seem like it'd alleviate a some of the pain. Another similar (more end to end) project I had come across is: geckos.io. This previous HN thread[1] discusses some of the (at least perceived) difficulty with using WebRTC as a "WebSockets but UDP" solution.

I'm not sure I follow the concern about congestion control. UDP doesn't have it either, presumably since if you're building an application that requires such latency sensitivity, you don't mind rolling your own congestion control algorithm that makes most sense given your application's specific needs, right? Pretty much all FPS games do this, as far as I understand.
