  • Hi,

    How do I make a WORD CLOUD a real time to other users?

    Here is my sample created using Construct 2.

    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/519 ... index.html

    When I input a word, it will fall down.

    If other user input a WORD, I can also see the word in real time and save all in an xml or database for future viewing.

    I'm thinking of Node.js but I my knowledge is limited.

    Thanks for any information.

  • Try Construct 3

  • Hi Gumshoe2099,

    I tried Nodejs but I am not that good.

    Here's my server code below.

    My problem is that, when I send data to server, I can't get back the data back but it will display in console.

    Any idea?

    var WebSocketServer = require('ws').Server

    , wss = new WebSocketServer({port: 8080});

    wss.on('connection', function(ws) {

    ws.on('message', function(message) {

    console.log('received: %s', message);

    });

    ws.send('something');

    });

  • var WebSocketServer = require('ws').Server

    , wss = new WebSocketServer({port: 8080});

    wss.on('connection', function(ws) {

    ws.on('message', function(message) {

    console.log('received: %s', message);

    });

    ws.send('something');

    });

    The one main problem that I see right off is that you rolled your onmessage method into your onconnection method.

    Those two need to be separate functions, like:

    var WebSocketServer = require('ws').Server, wss = new WebSocketServer({port: 8080});
    
    wss.on('connection', function(ws) {
            ws.send('Connected.');
     });
    
    ws.on('message', function(message) {
            console.log('received: %s', message);
                ws.send('Message received.');
        });
    [/code:2jwc88p6]
    
    You also need to make sure that you have the "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" header set to '*'  because Construct is very particular about security, and your websockets will not work if that header is not set on the server side.

    You can see the compartmentalization in my Java WebSocket server code below:
    [code:2jwc88p6]
    public GalaxyChatEndPoint(){
        	mLog = new MessageLogManager(filePath, fLogger, SP);
        }
        
        /**
         * Callback hook for Connection open events. This method will be invoked when a
         * client requests for a WebSocket connection.
         * @param userSession the userSession which is opened.
         */
        @OnOpen
        public void onOpen(Session userSession){
        	try{
        		userSession.setMaxIdleTimeout(600000);//10 mins
            	sessionKey = ((PrincipalWithSession) userSession.getUserPrincipal()).getSessionKey();
            	gameSession = cache.get(sessionKey.getKey());
                connections.put(sessionKey, userSession);
                if(gameSession==null)
                	broadcast("<p>gumshoe joined chat.</p>");
                else
                	broadcast(String.format("<p>%s%s</p>", gameSession.getDisplayName()," joined chat."));
        	}catch(Exception e){
        		fLogger.error(Errors.err2String(e));
        		try {

    				connections.remove(sessionKey);
    			} catch (IOException e1){
    	    		fLogger.error(Errors.err2String(e1));
    			}
        	}
        }
         
        /**

  • Hi,

    Sorry, Still I can't make it to work.

    Here is the C2 file that I am currently working on.

    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/519 ... dcloud.zip

    What I want to achieve is when I input a word, it will also appear on the other browser and vice-versa.

  • I suspect the problem is on your server code, not your Construct2 code. Did you look at that example?

  • hello,

    any chance for a reupload of your wordcloud demo?

    i stumbled over this info here: https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/q ... word-cloud

    https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/q ... ord-clouds

  • After a few month i would like to ask if there is any help on this topic, to convert some wordclouds from SE into c2?
