.io Games Possibility

Hi,
A quick question is it possible to make .io games using Buildbox 3 ?

 

It seems to me, they don't use Buildbox

 

You can make with BB3, i am making one i will share next week

 

Looking forward

 

At present they don't .But BB3 has a scope for it

 

my first .io game is live. you can play here:

You can't. But, I made working .io prototype without writing any code under an hours with another game engine

 

Hi,I like the way you did with the game and am impressed.But that's not a real .io game i mean it follows a pattern.I have long way to go to understand bb3 and make a game similar to this so i am not criticizing .See if you could make a game like bumper.io , paper.io etc i.e AI Character defeats and follows the Actor/Hero .
Anyhow all the best.And thanks for sharing.Btw Downloaded and played your game.

 

@weboha is there any chance you could share the code used to do the .io part. It would be GREATLY appreciated

 

Thanks for playing and commenting its important us to improve our games. yes our io characters are not smart enough
but i am not a coder actually. maybe better programmer can make more smarter game. you right about bumper or paper io.
this is my first game, i want more io game.

 

.io is just a domain extension. What's the big deal?

 

I think we know .io is a domain and that is why the first game used .io but it is becoming more of a category/ style of game

 

Well .io is ofcourse a domain extension but the fact is only we the developer and few players could really understand what it means.But for a majority users .io is a game type.Many have send me feedback when i used io tag for my game.They believe .io is a multiplayer format.Hence its a big deal

 

in game languange io means multiplayer game but real player, u are playing with ai players.
you don't need internet connection. basically this kind of games are io

 

Yeah so basically it's just a domain extension and everybody has their own opinion. Whateverrr

 

Its a domain name extension that BECAME a game type because of popular games like Slither .io and Agar .io.
So because they used .io for this multiplayer/fake multiplayer game style, it generated a NEW category in game design as well.

 

Ok so .io is basically a fake multiplayer game style. Why not use an fm extension?

 

.io is the domain extension of Indian Ocean territory, but since IO also means In/Out, the extension was used by some Nodejs networking libraries like socket.io, engine.io and eureca.io (the last one is mine ) ....
Later, the game Agar.io started a new trend of simple multiplayer games, which was then followed by many other multiplayer games that used the same domaine extenstion ".io".

so .io took a special meaning in gaming and JS libraries, it's about networking an multiplayer, not about playing agains AI !

That being said, you can't make .io games using BB3, at least with the current scope, because you simply can't access the networking layer throught BB3 API.

 

very nice job! congrats
