Multiplayer game lobby

Players create or join a room with a short code, see who's in, mark themselves ready, and the game starts for everyone at once.

The problem this solves

The hardest part of a multiplayer game is getting everyone into the same place at the same time. A lobby with a code, a player list and a ready check is how every party game starts.

What you end up with

Create room gives a four-letter code, and friends type it to join. Everyone sees the player list update live and taps Ready; when all are ready, the host presses Start and the game opens on every screen together. Empty rooms clean themselves up.

How it works

  1. A player creates a room and gets a short code.
  2. Friends type the code to join, and the player list updates for everyone.
  3. Each player taps Ready.
  4. When everyone's ready, the host starts the game for all at once.
  5. Rooms nobody is in disappear on their own.
