[Solved] Small data communication on Web

Post by qwdqwqwffqw »

Hello. I'm quite sure what I want exists somewhere, but I can't search for it as I don't know what it is called.

Requirement is not much. So, we are thinking of a 2-4 player multiplayer game project just between my friends (no more than four host/clients). The games will be very simple turn-based games that only require less than 100 bytes per communication, and about 1 second delay(latency) will be fast enough.

Is there any method and free service provider of doing this via web from LOVE? What I want : 1) Any player can get data string from fixed URL 2) Any player can change data string on that URL.

Thank you! :awesome:

I'd say IRC as well, to be honest.
Me and my stuff :3True Neutral Aspirant. Why, yes, i do indeed enjoy sarcastically correcting others when they make the most blatant of spelling mistakes. No bullying or trolling the innocent tho.

In addition to options mentioned above, I found out using api serivces can also be a simple solution. Messaging platform(like Discord) and many small blogging sites allow users to post and get simple message with simple http/https request.

I hope that might be helpful for other possible users with similar need!
