Integrate games with Colyseus

In this documentation we will see how to integrate games in a secure way using the Colyseus open source server.

The aim is to integrate games with OP Arcade and make them tournament ready.

OP Arcade uses Colyseus in tournament mode to prevent the player from cheating and getting a higher score in the leaderboard

At present, Leaderboards are populated and shown for Tournament-enabled games.

Leaderboard Example on OP Arcade

To prevent player cheating, we must ensure that critical gameplay and score submission and computation is done on a remote server and not on player devices.

Unsecured game all handled in the front end of the application, easy to cheat.

Game Logic has been moved to the server

To this end, Colyseus game server technology was selected as a mature, stable, documented, and open source platform.
