Melay Demo

Melay is cross platform multiplayer for Godot 4. This is its demo project.

Host a room, share the six character code, and play. The tab you are in can share a room with a phone, a desktop build or a Steam copy, because every platform speaks the same thing.

How to play

• Host a new room, or paste a code and Join
• Everyone hits Ready up, then the host starts the match
• Arrow keys move your paddle, A and D rotate it
• Keep the ball off your side

What you are actually looking at

Everything here runs through a relay: one small Docker container that passes packets between players and nothing else. The addon turns that into a normal Godot MultiplayerPeer, so the game is written with ordinary @rpc functions and Godot's usual multiplayer nodes.

A few things worth watching for:

• The 3-2-1 countdown is scheduled against the relay's clock, so it hits zero at the same moment for everyone regardless of ping
• The ball is simulated by the host and predicted by everyone else, so it stays smooth between updates
• The room code works across platforms. A browser player and a desktop player can share one.
