Method for communication between drivers on the road

Have you ever wanted to warn somebody in front of you that there is a cop behind or that one of their tires is flat? Sometimes I see car that are smoking from behind and I want to warn the people inside the car; but how do I do that? do I just honk like crazy until they hear me?

I would like to propose simple method for driver-to-driver communication using the high lights of your car:

One dot (.) means flash your lights for a short time, about a second. A dash (-) means flashing them for about 4 seconds.

... : use it to alert the car in front of you that a high priority vehicle like a police car or an ambulance is behind trying to move around the traffic.

-.- : use it to alert the car in front of you that something is wrong with their car (like a flat tire) and they should stop to check it.

--. : use it to alert the car in front that one of the doors is open.

I want also to mention that learning Morse code is good idea so that can you can communicate with your eye lids if, God forbid it, you become paralyzed and can't talk.

How to create online multiplayer HTML5 games in Contruct2

Construct2 can use websockets to send and receive messages between games. By using socket-io , we can use a Node.js script as the server and my modification to the socket-io plugin for Construct2 to allow the games to synchronize data between them in real-time. There are two parts to this design: the Node.js server and the Construct2 clients (the games playing). The main part of building an online multiplayer HTML5 game is to plan: how the clients will communicate how often and what to communicate how much of the logic will go into the server and how much to the client. In my sample game, I chose to have each client own a player and have the server just relay messages: Use string messages in the form TypeOfMessage, Parameter1, Paremeter2, Parater3, etc to communicate. Have the clients send their player position about 16 times a second. Whenever their player shoots, the client needs to send a message immediately. Almost all of the game logic will...
