How to create a real time multiplayer game

[Heinrich]

Hi I am new to GDevelop.
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to create a game like Clash of Clans? I am wondering about this because I have a great idea for a game, but I need to know if GDevelop has the features to create a real time multiplayer game and to store data? I do not have the time or skill to code a whole new game from the start. I have read that creating a game like Clash of Clans from scratch will take years. If anyone has created such game here could you also try to help me out? My idea of my game is not so complicated as Clash of Clans. Any advice will help!!

Thanks for your help in advance!!!

idk much clash of clans, but basically GDevelop itself will not be enough to create the whole game :
Gedevelop can be used to make the "client side "game, wich an ios/android app for example, with all the graphics, gameplay/control and sounds,etc. For users/session, data storage, multiplayer features, you’ll server side developpement. There are several example on the forum and wiki about how to use GD with client/server based on Php/MySQL technologies.

idk for realtime multiplayer features on HTML5 platform, it’s possible on the native platform but the extension is outdated and might disappear soon.

I’ve deleted the duplicate, and now copy the Wendigo’s reply here:

Wendigo says:
Realtime multiplayer (with the exception of “hot seat”) may sound trivial but in reality it is a very advanced topic.
The problem is that the game runs at 60 frames per second on the local machine while transfering the data over the net takes way longer. So while waiting for the data, the opposing side has to predict what the player on the other side of the cable might be currently doing. You’d also have to write a server componnent in order to manage the information. So that it is impossible that both players get the credit for killing the enemy only because they haven’t gotten the information yet that it is already dead due to network latency.
This is all very complex stuff. I myself haven’t yet dared to create a multiplayer game.

I’d recommend you to start with a simple single player project to get your feet wet in game development and slowly raise the bar before trying to create your “dream project” and miserably fail cause of lack of knowledge and experiance.
