CnCNet WebSocket Server

A WebSocket-based server for managing game lobbies and communications in CnCNet using Socket.IO, TypeScript and Node.js.

🚧 Project Status

This project is currently in active development.

🎯 Aims

• Develop a working prototype to replace the current IRC-based game lobby communication in the XNA CnCNet client with WebSocket communications, ensuring real-time updates between players and hosts (e.g., instant map changes, game options, chat messages).
• Extend the WebSocket-based solution to replace all other IRC features, including chat, friend management, and other lobby interactions.
• Once stable, introduce an optional account system that supports guest and registered user logins, providing a seamless user experience with improved flexibility.
