To do this, I used generic-type-guard package which generates both an interface AND a valid type guard from code.
With this, we are 100% sure that the messages we receive are validated at runtime!
The client cannot pass us an object that is invalid! \o/
Now, when a user moves, only his/her position is sent back to the other users. The position of all users is not sent each time.
The messages sent to the browser are now:
- the list of all users as a return to the join_room event (you can send responses to events in socket.io)
- a "join_room" event sent when a new user joins the room
- a "user_moved" event when a user moved
- a "user_left" event when a user left the room
The GameScene tracks all these events and reacts accordingly.
Also, I made a number of refactoring in the classes and removed the GameSceneInterface that was useless (it was implemented by the LogincScene for no reason at all)
- Position message send will be on format :
message :
userId : user identification
roomId: room identification
position: position of user in map
x: user x position on map
y: user y position on map
- Create Point object and interface to have position x and y of user in map.
