    Multiplayer Framework for Node.js. 
View documentation

  



Colyseus is an Authoritative Multiplayer Framework for Node.js, with SDKs

available for the Web, Unity, Defold, Haxe, Cocos and Construct3. ([See official SDKs](https://docs.colyseus.io/client/))

The project focuses on providing synchronizable data structures for realtime and

turn-based games, matchmaking, and ease of usage both on the server-side and

client-side.

The mission of the framework is to be a standard netcode & matchmaking solution

for any kind of project you can think of!

## Key features:

- WebSocket-based communication

- Simple API in the server-side and client-side.

- Automatic state synchronization from server-to-client (delta compressed)

- Matchmaking clients into game rooms/sessions

- Scale vertically or horizontally

See [public roadmap](https://github.com/colyseus/colyseus/wiki/Public-Roadmap) for future plans.

# 🚀 Quickstart

Create a bare-bones Colyseus server by using `npm create colyseus-app@latest`:

```

npm create colyseus-app@latest my-colyseus-server

cd my-colyseus-server

npm start

```
