I'm building a multiplayer real time web based game (io style, 2 ticks per second, so not 64 like a true realtime game). It seems to work quite well so far. I'm using https://github.com/woutdp/live_svelte for the frontend with pixi.js for the rendering.

How's the svelte + LiveView integration been working out for you thus far? I still find a lot of issue with trying to do a bit of work in JS-land for things where I want to have no latency, but find it can sometimes be a challenge managing everything through various LV hooks.

I'm biased since I made LiveSvelte, but it works quite well! I made a video to showcase some of its features here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMkvbW35QvA

Working with it in a real project now, instead of toy examples like in the video, it works really well for when you have highly complex components that rely on quite a lot of local state.

What you'll find is the developer experience is quite nice with LiveSvelte compared to JS hooks.

Thank you for your contribution and for this video! Going to give this a try in the near future.

This is quite cool. Can it enable optimistic UI updates?

Yes :)
