In an effort to enhance browser-based gaming using HTML5, the author shares a guide on transforming a platformer demo into a multiplayer game using the lightweight melonJS engine and PubNub for real-time communication. The process involves cloning the melonJS repository, setting up a local server, and configuring PubNub to handle multiplayer communications without the need for traditional servers. The guide details the creation of a Multiplayer object to manage game state updates and player interactions, with modifications to existing game code to support multiplayer features. By using PubNub, the guide demonstrates how to send and receive player position updates, effectively turning a single-player demo into a functional multiplayer game. The author emphasizes the ease of integration and the potential for future enhancements like synchronizing additional game elements.
