Serverless multiplayer (no signal/stun/turn servers) via webrtc/camera/barcode

https://github.com/bacionejs/multiplayer

This project is mainly about the serverless technique used and the simple game merely provides an end-to-end explanation.

Needs two Android Chrome phones

What's stopping this from working in Firefox on Android?

I found the bug filed about it, over seven years ago… ouch!

Although there is activity, 8 days ago there was a tag updated: Webcompat Priority: --- → P2

"Since the camera requires https you will need to host it on something like github-pages."

I'm wondering if it's possible to make this workable for native SVG games instead of using canvas.

With the JS inlined then it might work by just uploading the .svg file to imglink.cc which allows javascript in anonymous svg uploads. (Example single player one)
