Real-Time Multiplayer with React-Together

Pixel Game leverages react-together from Multisynq to achieve unprecedented real-time synchronization across all connected players.

React Together makes it incredibly easy to add real-time collaborative features to your React applications. With just a few hooks, you can synchronize state across multiple users, create live cursors, build real-time chat, and much more.

Quick Example in Pixel Game:

import { useStateTogether } from 'react-together'

export function handlePaint() {
   const [pixelUpdates, setPixelUpdates] = useStateTogether<
    Record<string, string>
  >("pixelUpdates", {});
  return (
    <button onClick={() => {
      setPixelUpdates((prev) => ({ ...prev, ...updates }));
      }}></button>
  )
}

Installation

npm install react-together

Technical Benefits:

  • Instant synchronization of pixel placements across all connected clients

  • Conflict resolution for simultaneous pixel edits

  • State persistence with automatic reconnection handling

  • Scalable architecture supporting hundreds of concurrent users
