@yantra-core/mantra-client v1.1.2

mantra-client

Key Features

1. High-Performance 3D Rendering: Utilizes Babylon.js, a powerful, open-source framework for building 3D games and rendering high-quality graphics directly in the web browser.

2. Advanced Graphics with WebGPU: Employs WebGPU for next-generation graphics rendering. This ensures more efficient processing and superior graphics performance compared to traditional WebGL, particularly for complex and graphics-intensive games.

3. Synchronized Physics Engines: Integrates physics-matter plugin for syncing physics calculations between the client and server. This synchronization guarantees consistent game states across networked environments, enhancing multiplayer experiences and fairness.

4. Offline Gameplay Capability: mantra-client can run the game entirely offline, providing a seamless gaming experience without the need for constant server communication.

5. Ease of Development and Integration: Built to work hand-in-hand with the mantra-server, enabling developers to create sophisticated multiplayer games with less effort and quicker deployment times.

Getting Started

1. Installation: Ensure you have the latest version of Node.js installed.

   git clone https://github.com/yantra-core/mantra
   npm install

2. Running the Client: Start the development server:

   npm start

   This will start the game on localhost:7777.

Client-Server Synchronization

mantra-client is designed to synchronize game states with the Mantra Server, ensuring a consistent multiplayer experience. The synchronization mechanism also enables the following:

• Predictive Client-Side Physics: Runs physics simulations client-side to reduce latency and improve responsiveness, later reconciling with server-side calculations.
• State Interpolation: For multiplayer scenarios, state interpolation is used to smooth out gameplay and reduce the impact of network latency.
