Multiplayer

The Multiplayer class is responsible for managing PlayerIO rooms.

In PlayerIO, a room refers to a separate instance of server-side logic, uniquely identified by a room ID and a room type. Each room can run on a different game server, potentially on separate physical machines. (See PlayerIO Room documentation ↗ for more details.)

In TLSDZ, the game uses multiple types of rooms, such as game, chat, trade, and alliance (defined in thelaststand.app.network.RoomType). This means multiple isolated instances of game servers may run simultaneously—potentially on different machines.

The Multiplayer class is mainly concerned during connection initialization phase, where it handles the creation or joining of a room. The createJoinRoom method internally delegates to the generated _createJoinRoom method, which performs the request to API 27.

Once a successful response is received, a socket connection is established via the Connection class.
