# GarageServer.IO
A simple, lightweight, HTML multiplayer game server (and client) for Node.js

## Features
- Authoritative Game Server
- Client Side / Input Prediciton
- Client Side Smooting
- Entity Interpolation
- Server State History
- Server and Client Messaging


## Quick Start

### Server

```js
var garageServer = require('garageserver.io'),

// Create instance of GarageServer.IO - pass in Socket.IO and GarageServer.IO options
var server = garageServer.createGarageServer(sockets, 
    {
        interpolation: true,
        clientSidePrediction: true,
        worldState: { width: '400px', height: '400px'; }
    });

// Start GarageServer.IO instance prior to starting physics loop
server.start();

// Inside physics loop, process inputs for players, process entites and update state
var players = server.getPlayers(),
    entities = server.getEntities(),

players.forEach(function (player) {
    // Calculate new state from player.state and player.inputs
    server.updatePlayerState(player.id, newState);
});
entities.forEach(function (entity) {
    // Calculate new state from entity.state
    server.updateEntityState(entity.id, newState);
});
```

### Client

```js
// Initialize GarageServer.IO
GarageServerIO.initializeGarageServer('http://insertmygameurlhere.com', {
    onReady: function () {
        // Call your game loop
    },
    onUpdatePlayerPrediction: function (state, inputs, deltaTime) {
        // If using client, process over inputs using current state and return new state
    },
    onInterpolation: function (previousState, targetState, amount) {
        // If interpolating, return new state
    },
    onWorldState: function (state) {
        // Extract world state sent from server
    }
};

// Inside render loop, extract states
GarageServerIO.getStates(function (playerStates, entityStates) {
    playerStates.forEach(function (player) {
        ctxCanvas.fillRect(player.state.x, player.state.y, 5, 5);
    });

    entityStates.forEach(function (entity) {
        ctxCanvas.fillRect(entity.state.x, entity.state.y, 5, 5);
    });
});

// Inside physics loop, capture and send input
GarageServerIO.addInput(myInput);
```

## API

### Client

```js
GarageServerIO.initializeGarageServer(path, options)
/*
options = {
    onPlayerConnect(callback),
    onPlayerDisconnect(callback),
    onPlayerReconnect(callback),
    onPlayerUpdate(callback(state)),
    onEntityUpdate(callback(state)),
    onPlayerRemove(callback(id)),
    onEntityRemove(callback(id)),
    onEvent(callback(data)),
    onWorldState(callback(state)),
    onPing(callback(pingDelay)),
    onUpdatePlayerPrediction(callback(state, inputs, deltaTime) : newState),
    onInterpolation(callback(previousState, targetState, amount) : newState),
    onReady(callback),
    logging: true
}
*/
```

```js
GarageServerIO.addInput(input)
```

```js
GarageServerIO.getStates(callback([player1State, player2State, ...], [entity1State, entity2State, ...]))
```

```js
GarageServerIO.getId() : playerid
```

```js
GarageServerIO.sendServerEvent(data)
```

### Server

```js
require('garageserver.io').createGarageServer(io, options) : GarageServerIO
/*
options = {
    stateInterval: 45,
    logging: true,
    clientSidePrediction: true,
    interpolation: true,
    interpolationDelay: 100,
    smoothingFactor: 0.3,
    pingInterval: 2000,
    maxUpdateBuffer: 120,
    maxHistorySecondBuffer: 1000,
    worldState: {},
    onPlayerConnect(callback(socket)),
    onPlayerInput(callback(socket, input)),
    onPlayerDisconnect(callback(socket)),
    onPing(callback(socket, data)),
    onEvent(callback(data))
}
*/
```

```js
GarageServerIO.start()
```

```js
GarageServerIO.stop()
```

```js
GarageServerIO.getPlayers() : [{ id, state, [input1, input2,...], [{ state1, executionTime1 }, { state2, executionTime2 }, ...] }]
```

```js
GarageServerIO.getEntities() : [{ id, state, [{ state1, executionTime1 }, { state2, executionTime2 }, ...] }]
```

```js
GarageServerIO.updatePlayerState(id, state)
```

```js
GarageServerIO.updateEntityState(id, state)
```

```js
GarageServerIO.addEntity(id)
```

```js
GarageServerIO.removeEntity(id)
```

```js
GarageServerIO.sendPlayerEvent(id, data)
```

```js
GarageServerIO.sendPlayersEvent(data)
```
