How GamesFor.Me works

Create and share a room

• Choose a game and review its public rules and device requirements.
• Confirm that you are at least 13, then choose a gamer tag or an automatic label.
• Select Open Play, Tournament, Best 2 out of 3, or another game-specific mode.
• Copy the generated invitation link and send it only to the people you want in the room.

How players stay connected

The TypeScript client connects to the Python server through protected same-origin HTTP polling on cPanel. Standalone deployments can use WebSockets. The server owns game state and validates moves rather than trusting the browser.

The client automatically reconnects after ordinary network interruptions. A reconnect can restore the transport, but a failed state-changing request is not silently replayed because doing so could duplicate a move.

Rooms, tournaments, and spectators

• Private room identifiers are random and are not listed in the sitemap.
• A full room can still be viewed as a spectator when that game supports spectators.
• Tournament lobbies assign fixed seats and open match rooms when the bracket starts.
• Active board rooms, tournaments, Starfighter sectors, polling ownership, group membership, and bounded event queues use a private SQLite database on cPanel. Local two-process tests show that an established polling connection can continue through a worker replacement when both workers share that database and the server key.

3D and WebXR games

Three.js and WebGL render the 3D games. WebXR is optional: a headset is never required to create, join, or complete a match.
