[Announce] Multiplayer Angband / JavaScript client

Flambard · February 5, 2020, 20:30

Hi all!

I'm happy to announce a new universal client for MAngband/PWMAngband/TomeNET. Which works in a web browser.

This is an early developer preview, released to

a) get everyone excited
b) get some kind of a team to build it properly

Please join us on Discord, https://discordapp.com/invite/U5B65Rh !

Live demo: http://test.mangband.org/webclient
Repo: https://github.com/mangband/mangclient-js

I'll post some more info soon.

Does this share any code with angband.live, which is essentially a z-term implementation in js?

We've talked about it and no, although I am going to attempt to host a mangband client on .live

Haven't really tested it but the client is live on .live now if anyone wants to try.

Nope, but, yeah, we've talked about it, and (if fate allows it) will share as much code as possible (at least, I intend to) for all our common tasks.

BTW, contrary to popular belief, MAngband (and other multiplayer variants), is not Z-Term-over-network. The protocol deals with Angband structs (like inventory), not attr/char drawing.

Sneak peek at MAngband (https://mangband.org/) android client:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMxx-WxtG5c

It's even got animation ^^

And browser web-client coming too!

It's already possible to connect with it to TomeNET/PWMA to walk around

http://test.mangband.org/webclient/

To connect wil browser client - enter credentials and wait for some time.. It's in very deep test mode, so errors occures (check for debug messages with 'F12').. Browser client is kinda in _very_ deep demo pre-dev version. Android client is much better developed so far

Download android MAng test client:

Damm.. Playing with android client gives possibility to play in VR. I've got Samsung Gear VR, so I'll try and make a report about it

Future is near!
