Best practices with Colyseus

Important

This section needs improvement and more examples! Each paragraph needs it's own page with thorough examples and better explanation.

• Keep your room classes as small as possible, without game logic.
• Keep your synchronizeable data structures as small as possible
  • Ideally, each class extending Schema should only have field definitions.
  • Custom getters and setters methods can be implemented, as long as you don't have game logic in them.
• Your game logic should be handled by other structures, such as:
  • See how to use the Command Pattern.
  • An Entity-Component System. We currently lack an ECS package that works well with Colyseus, some work has started trying to combine ECSY with @colyseus/schema.
