hi taka,
I have socket.io working successfully on the server side with node.js and on the client side within the cocos2d-html5 framework. An example implementation is in my repo at:
You only need a couple lines of code, instructions are below.
In your html file add the socket.io script, this is served dynamically if you have the socket.io node.js module running, there is no need to actually create a ‘socket.io/’ directory
<script src="/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script>
In your cocos2d app add this line (you can place this in your layer’s init, or create a helper class):
this.socket = io.connect('http://path:port');
to verify, add a simple handler:
this.socket.on('connect', function() { console.log('connected!')});
Hope this helps. I also had some issues setting up the newest version of Express with socket.io, if you need help with the server side code the key is here:
this.express = require('express'), this.server = this.express(), this.app = this.server.listen({port number}), this.iolib = require('socket.io');
@ this.io = this.iolib.listen(this.app);@
this.server is your Express server, this.io is the socket.io module, and this.io.sockets would be used for communication
Thanks so much! You are my hero:)
Oh, Chris Hannon, you are also my hero Thank you!
