IMHO, the stuff in this articles does not translate to reality.

Is it possible to write a wonderful piece of music after reading a musical theory book or beats production tutorial? No - if a person does not have talent, but if you have a talent you'll be doing it just right without any books and articles.

The only rule of thumb is keep practicing. Carefully observing/studying features from other good games by playing them also helps a lot.

I think it could work very well for turn based games or async multiplayer. But what is with real time action games like shooters/mobas/rts? I think the lag is too large or may be it's possible to solve that with plugin which will calculate all that complicated stuff like collision prediction, interpolation etc.

Interesting, I will try parse for static data.

Cool, I will try that.

A small feature suggestion for the firebase "query" plugin:

• pick random dataset from the set query
• or maybe pick dataset by expression

Do not read game design articles.

Ah, ok - it's possible to set manual key with "Set Value" method

Following question:

Data get pushed to the firebase, but there's a weird randomly generated key like that "Ji29D5OOCXw8DoQe98_:" on top of each message. Is it possible to disable it or set this key manually?

That's great, man - thank you!

Is it possible to create a multiplayer lobby with rooms using your firebase plugins? May be lobby could be just a C2 object which is monitored on firebase server and rooms are items? I'm trying to figure out how to implement it.

rexrainbow, thanks gonna check it out

Nope. I haven't manage to fix it. Anyways WebRTC is not supported on iOS. I'm still using socket.io solution by —
