/game

Start a peer-to-peer game session with another user. Choose from 5 retro arcade games and play directly in the browser via WebRTC.

Syntax

/game <nickname>

Parameters

nickname — The user to start a game session with.

How It Works

Running /game creates a game session and sends an invite to the target user. Both users enter a game lobby where they can chat and pick a game. Once both agree on a game, a WebRTC DataChannel connects the players and the game begins. The session creator acts as host (runs the game loop), while the peer sends inputs and receives state updates.

Rules & Limits

  • Both you and the target must be registered and identified
  • Cannot start a game session with yourself
  • Only one active game session per user pair at a time
  • Sessions expire after 5 minutes if the peer doesn't join
  • The lobby expires after 15 minutes of inactivity

Examples

/game Mario
/game Alice
