# NoobHub
[](http://standardjs.com/)
OpenSource multiplayer and network messaging for CoronaSDK, Moai, Gideros, LÖVE & Defold
Battle-tested and production ready. Handling thousands of CCU (concurrent users), serving hundreds of thousands multiplayer games daily, routing hundreds of messages per second, with months of uptime.
- Connections are routed through socket server with minimum latency, ideal for action games.
- Simple interface. Publish/subscribe paradigm in action.
- Server written on blazing fast Nodejs.
- Zero dependency. Works out of the box, no NPM ecosystem required. (for websocket bridge relies on `ws` module, read below)
- Socket connections, works great through any NAT (local area network), messages delivery is reliable and fast.
- Low CPU and memory footprint
Repo includes server code (so you can use your own server) and CoronaSDK/Moai/Gideros/LÖVE client. More clients to come.
You can test on my server, credentials are hardcoded in demo project!
Lua code may serve as an example of how LuaSocket library works.
## How to use it
START SERVER
```bash
$ nodejs node.js
```
To make use of the websocket bridge, uncomment wsPort in the config.
If so, make sure to do `npm install` as well.
These are useful to serve browser clients. Irrelevant otherwise.
INITIALIZE
```lua
hub = noobhub.new({ server = "127.0.0.1"; port = 1337; });
```
```js
const hub = noobhub.new({ server: '127.0.0.1', port: 2337 });
```
SUBSCRIBE TO A CHANNEL AND RECEIVE CALLBACKS WHEN NEW JSON MESSAGES ARRIVE
```lua
hub:subscribe({
channel = "hello-world";
callback = function(message)
if(message.action == "ping") then
print("Pong!")
end;
end;
});
```
```js
hub.subscribe({
channel: 'hello-world',
callback: (data) => {
console.log('callback', data);
}
});
```
SAY SOMETHING TO EVERYBODY ON THE CHANNEL
```lua
hub:publish({
message = {
action = "ping",
timestamp = system.getTimer()
}
});
```
```js
hub.publish({
action: 'ping',
timestamp: Date.now()
});
```
## Clients
- CoronaSDK
- Gideros
- Moai
- LÖVE
- Node.js
- PHP (debug console only)
- JS / Browser
## Tests
Simple acceptance test uses Nodejs client to test the server itself:
```bash
$ ./run-tests.sh
starting Noobhub server...
NoobHub on :::1337
running tests...
tests ok
```
## Getting ready for production use
If you expect more than 1000 concurrent connections, you should increase limits on your server (max open file descriptors,
max TCP/IP connections) and optionally fine-tune your server's TCP/IP stack.
To make sure server process stays alive you might want to use tools such as forever.js or supervisord.
