NeW Multiplayer extension (in development)

I am creating a new Multiplayer object, the server runs on NodeJS and standard Websocket (RFC-6455) hence the name "NeW", i was thinking "e" for "express", but i am not using that after all.
So far it seems to work well on the HTML5 runtime, i started with javascript since the server itself is also built with javascript.
Working on this full time. I'll be moving on to make an iOS version (yay!!), as well as Windows and Android. Cross-platform awesomeness

Not sure when/how much, but i will probably try to sell it on the clickstore when it's ready and after i've released a couple games using it first.

Uploaded a test game here: Please login to see this link.
You can open multiple windows to try.

It's similar to lacewing, but it's made from scratch so a couple things work a bit differently and i am adding some really cool features.
(in my extension channels are called "rooms", and subchannels are just called "channels")

Sending a private message works across rooms.
Player lists can be fetched from any room from anywhere at any time.
When connecting you are immediately assigned a guest username,
then it includes optional account registration, so you can register your username with a password. (at any time)
AND it includes cloud-storage data, which pretty much works like INI:
a player can store values and text on their account, log in from anywhere to retrieve it.
anyone can store values and text to a room, which is accessible to everyone, and still stored while the room is empty.

websockets don't support udp transfer, but i believe i structured the data messaging in a clever way, making it extremely efficient.

Haven't tried a heavy stress-test yet, but using single bytes/shorts in a few places, so at most 255 players per room, and about 65,000 on the server in total. Likely something else limiting it before that tho, but i am using a kind of tick-based send procedure to minimize load, so it could be realistic with 100+ in a room for a simple game which is using it properly (sending bytes rather than strings etc)

html5 is done, (perhaps more bug testing needed) half-way through android, and i am also most excited for the iOS version! getting on to that next.

Yeah it works great. Html5 is complete, server is running stable. Both Android and iOS are pretty much done as well!, but need more testing to find bugs and then fix them.
I am working on my main game using this, so my time is split between doing the extension and the game, with some to spare for sleeping and eating etc

The server is built on NodeJS javascript, i run it on a VPS with NodeJS and the following NPM packages:
- ws (websockets)
- mysql
- microbuffer
- collections/set
- collections/map

Also a little bit of sql database setup to support account data.

I don't know yet when it's ready, but the plan is to sell the object on the clickstore (most likely one purchase for each runtime), set up a public server to use, and also release the server source code with a quick guide so anyone can set up their own server.

As NodeJS has gained a lot of popularity there seems to be some new good affordable host options available, it should be compatible with those.

The code is pretty messy tho, and it's pretty much one of my first extensions, so i certainly wasn't aware of any extension management techniques, which means it's all over the place, but it works which is the important part

Some glitches on iOS which i am looking into at the moment, and the implementation is a bit of a hassle, as i only managed to implement websockets with "Socket Rocket" using CocoaPods, which needs to be installed and added after export. If anyone knows of an easier iOS websocket alternative, be sure to let me know.

Luckily there was a decent .jar library available for android, so that works straight out of the box.
And it works with just plain javascript on the html5 runtime

Haven't created the windows runtime yet, for me personally it's not the most important as i mainly develop for mobile and can test pretty quickly using html5.
