@coco Yep just did that refractor & got size to 6 bytes per player.

As the players increase this size will keep on increasing. So as players increase and this snake sections increase the size will also increase. Will it be able to manage 500 concurrent players with such approach?

Dude, you're a saviour! I'll start implementing this right away.

@coco Thanks! Let me know if you need anything.

Hi, I'm building a game like Snake.io or Slither.io using colyseus & phaser.

The binary message size per message is increasing around 1Kb only with one player.

Here are the schema classes. Please help me regarding ways to improve this.

export class MyRoomState extends Schema {
  @type({ map: PlayerState })
  players: MapSchema<PlayerState> = new MapSchema<PlayerState>();

  @type({ map: Food })
  foodItems: MapSchema<Food> = new MapSchema<Food>();
}

export class PlayerState extends Schema {
  @type('string')
  publicAddress: string;

  @type('string')
  sessionId: string;

  @type('int16')
  x: number;

  @type('int16')
  y: number;

  @type('int16')
  score: number;

  @type('int16')
  angle: number = 0;

  @type('int8')
  snakeLength: number = 0;

  @type([SnakeSection])
  sections: ArraySchema<SnakeSection>;

export class SnakeSection extends Schema {
  constructor(x: number, y: number) {
    super();
    this.x = x;
    this.y = y;
  }

  @type('int16')
  x: number;

  @type('int16')
  y: number;

  setTo(x: number, y: number) {
    this.x = x;
    this.y = y;
  }
}
