A multiplayer Pong game built with Rust + WebGPU (client) and Cloudflare Durable Objects (server).
cargo install wasm-pack # Prerequisites: Rust, Node 20+
npx wrangler login # One-time Cloudflare auth
npm run build && npm run dev # http://localhost:8787| Mode | How |
|---|---|
| Multiplayer | Click CHALLENGE → share link → JOIN |
| VS AI | Click PLAY |
Controls: Arrow keys or W/S · Touch on mobile
Rules: First to 5. Hit position affects ball trajectory.
See ARCHITECTURE.md for the system diagram and component deep dive.
Key design decisions:
- Shared
game_core— Same ECS physics on client and server for prediction - Binary protocol — Minimal
postcardserialization over WebSocket - Durable Objects — Each match is a stateful instance with 60Hz game loop
