Please checkout [this demo video](https://pan.baidu.com/s/1ge9fEZNsRA8f6dpBKbdSjw?pwd=854g) to see whether the source codes are doing what you expect for synchronization.
The video mainly shows the following feature (yet I'm not surprised if they're not obvious): when a player didn't have its input arrived at the backend in time (e.g. due to local lag, network delay or reconnection), backend forces confirmation of a prediction of its own and sends the confirmed input together w/ a reference render frame to that player.
- [Command Line Tools for Xcode](https://developer.apple.com/download/all/?q=command%20line%20tools) (on OSX) or [TDM-GCC](https://jmeubank.github.io/tdm-gcc/download/) (on Windows) (a `make` executable mandatory)
- [Golang1.19.1](https://golang.org/dl/) (mandatory, in China please try a mirror site like [that of ustc](https://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/golang/))
- [CocosCreator v2.2.1](https://www.cocos.com/en/cocos-creator-2-2-1-released-with-performance-improvements) (mandatory, **ONLY AVAILABLE on Windows or OSX and should be exactly this version**, DON'T use any other version because CocosCreator is well-known for new versions not being backward incompatible)
- [protojs](https://www.npmjs.com/package/protojs) (optional, only for development)
It's strongly recommended that `skeema` is used for provisioning [the required schema](https://github.com/genxium/DelayNoMore/tree/main/database/skeema-repo-root) in MySQL instance. When using `skeema` the steps are as follows.
On `Windows 10/11`, you can compile `skeema` from source and config the host to be `127.0.0.1` instead of `localhost` to use it, i.e. circumventing the pitfall for MySQL unix socket connection on Windows.
### The following command runs redis-server in foreground, it's OK to put it in background
user@anywhere> redis-server
### on Windows using TDM-GCC: mingw32-make run-test
user@proj-root/battle_srv> make run-test
```
### Frontend
The easy way is to try out 2 players with test accounts on a same machine.
- Open CocosCreator v2.2.1 (mandatory, it serves the web content of the following steps)
- Open one browser instance, visit _http://localhost:7456?expectedRoomId=1_, input `add`on the username box and click to request a captcha, this is a test account so a captcha would be returned by the backend and filled automatically (as shown in the figure below), then click and click to proceed to a matching scene.
- Open another browser instance, visit _http://localhost:7456?expectedRoomId=1_, input `bdd`on the username box and click to request a captcha, this is another test account so a captcha would be returned by the backend and filled automatically, then click and click to proceed, when matched a `battle`(but no competition rule yet) would start.
- Try out the onscreen virtual joysticks to move the cars and see if their movements are in-sync.
