I'm thinking about making a fun static P2P game app where multiple nodes/players can join rooms and play together.
It could be a good marketing strategy to encourage the installation of P2P browsers :p
@akhileshthite what sort of gameplay did you have in mind?
@mauve Thinking of non-graphic, text-based games like a collaborative story or guess-the-word.
Do you have any recommendations?
@akhileshthite there are #webxdc apps that only need message exchange layer between peers, some are games. Maybe the browser could implement webxdc api?
@lutindiscret If there's an electron thingie out there to run webxdc it'd be pretty easy to incorporate.
@mauve why would you need an electron "thingie"? 🤔 webxdc app is JS api, it could be implemented using JS run by the browser engine 🤔
@lutindiscret Loading the contents out of the app and wiring it up to the chat interface is a decent chunk of code to support. It'd take less time to reuse something instead of needing to read the spec and file formats from scratch and implement a runner from scratch.
@mauve iirc i've seen a project of someone making a webpage/WPA that does that 🤔 could not find it
@mauve wouldn't https://github.com/webxdc/webxdc-dev have some pieces of code?
@lutindiscret Yeah, exactly what I was thinking after my initial search :P

The other part is we don't have any chat apps or concepts of "groups" in Agregore so a new app would need to be made for that
