A nice feature you may already be working on would be to assign a user name. You could do this on page load or before entering or even the first thing typed.

Here are some cool examples:

liveballs.nodejitsu.com

github.com/LearnBoost/socket.io/blob/master/examples/chat/app.js

Looks like there is a hack for it - I searched "Duplicate Layer" and found this post: scirra.com/forum/easiest-way-to-make-multiple-levels_topic45090_post282935.html

Seems to be some sort of version control.

scirra.com/manual/50/add-configuration

Here's some info from the manual: scirra.com/manual/38/ribbon/page-1

Configurations allow you to set up different versions of your project without having to save multiple projects to disk. Active configurations sets which configurations are currently being edited. Since only one configuration can be displayed in the editor at a time, this is chosen with the Display configuration, which must also be an active configuration.

I have been playing around with your plugin and I was able to make the spirit jump for both connected users by simply adding simulate jump on data received. Kind of cool.

Here is a my .capx example of a platform sprite jumping. Every time "return" is clicked the sprite jumps in real time.

I am basically trying to eventually replicate something similar that was done in ImpactJS using ImpactConnect that uses socket.io and node.js.

I like construct2 much better than ImpactJS.

Excellent job! I just tested this out and it works great! I like how you setup the socket - I have been running node.js with socket.io from a Ubuntu VM (Virtual Machine) for a few months.

I like the idea of being able to use a product like Construct 2 to build out multi connection or multiplayer HTML5 application.

I am surprise that this socket runs on windows.

Do you know of any other capx examples of multi connection?

Thanks and great job!

Hello, really nice job with the socket.io plugin! I am going to be messing around with it today. I see that they have done something similar with ImpactJS called impactConnect that uses socket.io and node.js.

My question would be is there any working .CAPX examples such as the video above for Construct 2 multi connection example?

Thanks!
