Messing with BrowserQuest

Post by hallsofvallhalla »

I have been farting around with several HTML5 games/engines. Recently started playing with browser quest again and adding a few features and changing the graphics. It is a real pain as well. I would be better off starting from scratch. Just got to figure out how to truly balance the network and make a smooth click to move with pathfinding and I will be set.

Well Halls, you seem to be messing with a lot of engines :P Why not stick with one that you really like?

As far as click-to-move in an online game, here is a great A* tutorial, and then maybe the strategy I devised for click-to-move could help get decent click-to-move if combined. My strategy still isn't perfect, as it doesn't allow the player to change their destination mid-move. Actually, I think the first one I posted actually would, but it would be a mess. The one I posted on the 2nd page prevents mid-animation moving to keep things simple.

A* should work pretty well with some tweaking. You may have to adjust the heuristics of it to change how efficiently players get to the target point. If it is too efficient, it can look kind of odd as they always shimmy along walls, etc. But I believe that tutorial goes over how to adjust it.
