Add Realtime Multiplayer Feature (e.g. Bluetooth/Wifi)

Open landry314 opened this issue 5 years ago • 5 comments

I'd love to see a multiplayer feature to play head to head with a friend on 2 different devices.

This could be implemented like the game in the play store called "just boggle" where it gives you a unique code for the current game you can share.

Or I imagine for games in the same room it could be done over bluetooth! This could allow for both competitive and real-time cooperative gameplay!

Thanks for the feedback. I'll mark this as a duplicate of #102, and we can continue discussing there.

Right, but how about a real time cooperative setup where you see the letters light up when your teammate gets a word and the points are shared?

Ah, makes sense. I'll open this again and update the title to reflect that it is for a real time network based multiplayer feature. Having said this, my first thoughts are that it would be quite a large feature to implement, so unless someone is able to contribute a significant amount of time it is unlikely to be implemented ahead of some of the other more pressing issues :)

At the end of a multiplayer game, would love to see words we both found, words unique to each player, maybe in columns or color coded.

It would be great to have either collaborative mode or competitive mode. In competitive mode, when both players get a word it is marked through so your score only includes words that only you got.

Don't forget multiplayer can be more than 2 people.
