Welcome to my experimental Tabletop Sim

No annoying signups necessary. 🤘
Create a room and share the url with other people to interact within the same virtual space.
If you're testing functionality then open the room url in a second browser window and note how each window will keep objects synchronised.
Rooms expire if every player is idle for 20 minutes so don't expect your table state to be saved if everybody leaves.
For now the only table is a simple Backgammon board and no game rules are enforced. It's up to the players to organise the pieces like they might in real life. The advantage here is I can add many boardgames without coding much game specific logic.
Mobile/touch devices are not supported (yet).

I built this during the covid lockdowns so I could play friends & family and learn Node.js sockets in the process. It's very bare bones but gets the job done.

I hope to enhance in the future with position snapping, stacked objects (i.e. a deck of cards which can be clicked to shuffle/seperate/reveal), and private objects (i.e cards only a single players can view). With a few basic tools and features I could conceivably emulate many games with little effort. The trick is figuring out the least amount of fundamental interactions required to allow the most games to work.
