LAN Multiplayer Party — Binary Golf Steam update #544751

LAN Multiplayer Party Hey everyone! In this update, I wanted to add a multiplayer feature that allows friends to play but not on the same device, so I created a LAN (Local Area Network) connection. Here’s how things went. How it works To get started, I needed to set up a local client-server model. The plan was to have one device act as the “host” (server) and others as clients joining the game, the server also has a client on the same device so that he/she can play, so I had to: • Set up a server to broadcast a local IP. • Allow client devices to detect and connect to this IP. • Sync game data (like ball positions and actions) to ensure all players see the same thing. Challenge: Syncing Real-Time Data This has been a tricky part but not so much...
