Ugh. Challenges. I need to create a 3D two player online game with the new HTML5 WebSockets, and I'm using a free 000webhost server which I barely have control over. Does anyone know how to connect two client connections together in PHP?

Perhaps, c9.io

The issue with php is that its not supposed to keep running. If you're confident in JavaScript, then make the backend in node.js, it's really easy

I have done it once about 2 years ago, I used someone elses code I'll check if I can find the source when I get to work.

@nicholai is right tho, php is not really meant for such a thing

@nicholai but you can't run nodejs on a simple server right? I'm guessing he doesn't have ssh access or something like that
Sorry if I'm wrong

@ikwilkoffie don't apologise! Asking questions about things you don't know is something a lot of devs lack!
Anyways, it used to be like that, but now you can host entire solutions without an actual box using different solutions, one of them is now: https://zeit.co/now - free for FOSS, or, if you're a student you can use Heroku or DigitalOcean for free using the GitHub student developer pack

@nicholai Oh that looks pretty sweet!
Yeah i have a student pack but I keep forgetting to look at the options in there. Ironically when I finally do have time to look at it I'll probably won't be a student anymore :')

@calmyourtitties I think i used this one but it's been a while.

But maybe you could look at the options @nicholai provided, that'l probably be the best way to go

@ikwilkoffie thank you! I'll check it out, and if i have to, I'll look into node.js or go, which means I'll have to find a new web host :/
