Game Maker Studio Extension - SocketIO

Want to create a multiplayer .io game with Game Maker Studio(GMS)? My Socket.io extension makes it easy to add real-time communication to your web-based games.

What is Socket.io?

Socket.IO is a popular JavaScript library for bidirectional communication between web clients and servers. It's great for building multiplayer games, chat applications, and more.

About

The Socket.io extension was born out of a personal need. I wanted to use GMS for a .io game, but websockets weren't supported at the time. So I created this extension! Even tho GMS supports websockets now, this is still a valid choice, give it a try :)

The extension is available on the YoYo Marketplace, and it's open source so you can modify it as needed. I've also written two blog posts on getting started with the extension, and provided example projects on GitHub.
