Multiplayer game with wifi-direct

#1

Hi, I’m new to Corona and generally game development. I was wondering whether it’s possible to make a multiplayer game and connect the players with wifi-direct. The AutoLAN library seemed promising, but it looks like it’s been out of date for 2 years. Any suggestions?

While AutoLan hasn’t been updated in a couple of years, I think it’s still working fine.

Also, NoobHub is the new hotness from what I hear, and Develephant has some other really awesome tools that can do this.

Thanks guys, I’ll have a try with AutoLAN first and then with the others. The problem is I’d prefer it if there was more support on AutoLAN, but I’ll try to figure out how to use it myself…

Not sure what has changed, but I was using AutoLan for a while in one of my projects and now its not seeing clients and clients are not seeing servers. Kostiscy2 did you have any issues?

chevol: yes I have a lot of issues, as the library seems to only work on the simulators on not on actual devices for some reason.

Thought that was the case, this is bad news. The library has worked for years and now I think one of the new builds changed something and now AutoLan only works on the simulator. Sadly this library is no longer supported so I guess it won’t be fixed anytime soon. It has been forked numerous times but I don’t think any of them that are active. Guess AutoLan is dead, I’ll look into it more but networking isn’t really my thing so I doubt I’ll be able to fix it.
