Multiplayer Framework for Node.js.
View documentation

Colyseus is an Authoritative Multiplayer Framework for Node.js, with clients available for the Web, Unity3d, Defold, Haxe, and Cocos. ([See official clients](#%EF%B8%8F-official-client-integration)) The project focuses on providing synchronizable data structures for realtime and turn-based games, matchmaking, and ease of usage both on the server-side and client-side. The mission of the framework is to be a standard netcode & matchmaking solution for any kind of project you can think of! ## Key features: - WebSocket-based communication - Simple API in the server-side and client-side. - Automatic state synchronization from server-to-client (delta compressed) - Matchmaking clients into game rooms/sessions - Scale vertically or horizontally See [public roadmap](https://github.com/colyseus/colyseus/wiki/Public-Roadmap) for future plans. # 🚀 Quickstart Create a bare-bones Colyseus server by using `npm create colyseus-app@latest`: ``` npm create colyseus-app@latest my-colyseus-server cd my-colyseus-server npm start ``` # Sponsors The sustainability of the project relies on **Colyseus Cloud** subscriptions and sponsorships. If you are not using Colyseus Cloud, please consider [sponsoring the project](https://github.com/sponsors/endel) 💖
