wasmboy Link Cable Emulation

Look into Link Cable Emulation

Goal would to be have it done over WebRtc with a peer to peer connection, using something like simple-peer or PeerJs

Our best bet is WebRTC. It provides a P2P like way to transfer data between two clients. It is also possible to.do serverless, by sending each other's signaling key through Email or some sort

Here's another severless webrtc I found while out getting coffee 😄 https://github.com/owebio/serverless-webrtc-chat

Here's serverless WebRTC using QR codes:

I think we should go with that. They have a server already hosted for their service. And if it ever went down, we could simply roll our own real quick, and just change some values on the client 😄

@FM1337 I haven't started this beyond just mocking it out to get the game Alleyway working :o

That being said, looking back over this, seems like PeerJS is the way to go, so I just gotta find the time to do it :smile:

Would be great if functions to transfer data between clients are configurable.
