#FujiNet Game lobby starts to breathe, with Five Card Stud!

@The Car checked in enough of the #FujiNet Game Lobby that we can start kicking its tires. Shown here on #atari8bit playing poker with the ability to host a mixture of bot and human players. We want help to bring this to all #FujiNet Platforms!

Please spread far and wide: We are now testing the FujiNet Game Lobby.

What is it?

It's a way to connect FujiNet game players to FujiNet games, that any game developer can leverage.

For our first test, Eric Carr has written a 5-Card-Stud Poker game, and set it up across 5 different rooms, with a mixture of player and bot seats.

(and yes, the code will be released, very soon!)

 

To play the test:

 

1. Put ec.tnfs.io into a host slot.

 

2. Open it and go to atari/

3. mount lobby.xex, and boot.

 

The lobby will ask for your name, and persist it via an app key (so it will not ask again).

 

Once you've given a name, you're presented with a set of rooms, for each available game (for now, 5 card stud), and you can select one of them by pressing and holding down Option. This will cause the lobby to mount the game into slot 1, and boot into it. 5 Card Stud needs to be booted with the option key held down.

 

I hope you guys understand the significance of this. ANY FUJINET GAME CAN USE IT. And the source code to the lobby, and the example games we are making will be available on github.

 

Here's to a new era of multi-player fun!
