Multiplayer Bomberman Game

Overview

This project is a multiplayer version of the classic Bomberman game, where 2-4 players battle until only one player is left standing. The game features dynamic gameplay, power-ups, and a built-in chat system for player communication. The game is developed using a custom framework created in a previous project.

Table of Contents

Features

  • Multiplayer support for 2-4 players.
  • Real-time chat using WebSockets.
  • Various power-ups to enhance gameplay.
  • Fixed map layout with destructible and indestructible blocks.
  • Customizable player nicknames.
  • Responsive design to ensure a smooth gaming experience.

Game Mechanics

Players

  • Number of players: 2-4.
  • Each player starts with 3 lives.
  • Players are placed in the corners of the map at the start of the game.

Map

  • The map is fixed and fully visible to all players.
  • Two types of blocks: destructible blocks and indestructible walls.
  • Destructible blocks are randomly generated at the start of each game.
  • Players' starting positions are free of destructible blocks to ensure they can avoid bomb explosions.

Power-ups

Random power-ups may appear when a block is destroyed:

  • Bombs: Increases the number of bombs a player can drop at a time by 1.
  • Flames: Increases the bomb explosion range by 1 block in four directions.
  • Speed: Increases the player's movement speed.

Multiplayer and Chat

  • Players enter a nickname before joining a game.
  • A waiting page displays the player count, starting the game once 2-4 players are ready.
  • If the player count reaches 4 before 20 seconds, a 10-second timer starts. If not, the timer starts when the count reaches 2.
  • In-game chat allows players to communicate using WebSockets.

Performance Requirements

  • The game must run at 60fps at all times with no frame drops.
  • Proper use of requestAnimationFrame for smooth animations.
  • Performance measurements are taken to ensure optimal game speed.
