About
What is SyntGames?
Why?
Games should be easy to play with friends.
SyntGames started with a pretty simple idea: create a place where friends can jump into simple games together without having to buy anything.
A lot of the time, trying a new game with friends means buying it, installing it, finding out nobody really plays it, and eventually watching it sit there taking up space on your drive.
SyntGames is my attempt to remove all of that friction. No accounts. No purchases. No installations. Just open the browser, create a room, share the code, and play.
Who?
Just one person behind the keyboard.
SyntGames is developed by Syntecpt.
It's a solo project, although I definitely haven't done all of it alone. There has been a lot of help from AI along the way.
Thanks ChatGPT and Claude <3 :)
How?
A browser, some sockets, and a lot of game logic.
SyntGames uses real-time sockets together with Phaser to make the games run in the browser while the server remains responsible for the important game logic.
The goal is to keep the games lightweight and responsive while making multiplayer games feel as immediate as possible.
