I can do that for single player.

Just now i saw your reply. Thanks.
I was just reading about node.js and socket.io during this time. I will do the search as you said.
Do i need node.js when i use socket.io in cocos2dx?

i found there is a socketio test class.
If i use socket.io, then must i use node.js?

I am working on it. Practicing in localhost.

Those tutorials are using websocket.
I am planning to use socket.io

http://www.cocos2d-x.org/docs/api-ref/js/v3x/
I am not able to find doc for socket.io here.
But in internet, i can see cocos2dx is supporting socket.io

I made a simple coding on my localhost with socket.io and it is working for me. I need to convert it into cocos2dx.

Please provide some documentation for using socket.io with cocos2dx.
Thanks again…

The best place to look for a example about a particular functionality are the tests that come with cocos2d-x. Here you’ll find a example.

#10 
var SocketIO = SocketIO || window.io;

This line is throwing error for me.
I have to include the socket.io.js file to make it work.
Does cocos2dx have any module for socket.io? I guess there should be a module. But i can’t find it :frowning:

…?
Can you please share the link for socket module implementation in cocos2dx javascript?
