Yeah, you should be using HTTPS. Google announced some time back that they are nuking site's search ratings that don't use SSL/TLS anyway. You could create one HTTP API call to login the user, then that call, if the login is successful, returns a JWT. Then you can send that JWT along to the other ca...

I would probably pass on this one. It is very old (and thus a lot of it likely sits on the wrong side of the PHP 5+ compatibility divide) and the code looks rather bad. There are hundreds of codebases like this one once you step out of Github and look back to Sourceforge or Google Code, so I had to ...

I actually just added it as a one-off. A full update with adding more engines, taking older ones off, etc., will probably still be a while.

Nice! It definitely looks interesting. I have been short of well-architected strategy games so yes I will add it to the list.

I do agree that it would be better to link the two authentication systems. It isn't just that it is overkill, it is also duplication of logic. Can the user change their password from both the game and the website? Then you would need to create a way to notify the other DB of that change. That is goi...

Yeah that is kind of what I was thinking as well. You would have to add the logic in a certain way in order for it to be properly shared between client and server (like registering all of your methods through a special class or something). I figured it was probably marketing talk. It would be intere...

That's what I'm trying to do - find a method that words in both, that produces the same hash Then you want the low-level hashing algorithm methods. So in PHP you want to just use the hash() method: $hashedValue = hash('sha256', 'The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.'); And in C#: using Syst...

One thing I did see mentioned on Atavism's site is that you don't have to recreate logic on the server and in the client. You just write it once for Unity and the Ativism server will handle running the logic there. Now that is quite a bold claim. If that really is true and I didn't misunderstand, th...

Well, real-time multiplayer is always going to require a lot of bandwidth, with the goal of sending data at least 10 times a second, and perhaps as often as 16 times. Interpolation will vary from game to game, but provided you are sending data often, you will never have to interpolate much. I'm not ...

I think there would be a lot of interest in anything Phaser 3 + multiplayer. Doesn't have to be an MMO, since the same concepts can be scaled-up. I think that would have a lot of interest.
