Hi,
Can anyone help with my question.
I have built a game via Retool but I need it to be playable by multiple users at the same time and each users input should reflect on every users screen in real time.
Is this possible and if so how can I go about it?
In addition I will also need an admin user to have a slightly different view and be able to access parts of the game the users cannot.
Thanks,
Hi @Sally,
I don't think the real-time aspect of your requirements is easily achievable with retool components, you may have to create a custom component that is hearing and getting new data constantly.
In theory you could have a query that runs every x seconds, but depending on the amount of data and your app that could really impact performance.
The admin user with different view is definitely achievable as components can be hidden/show based on permissions/users or other metadata you can set in available variables.
Thanks @MiguelOrtiz for your reply. I managed to figure both parts of my problem out. Utilised Retools database for next to near real time updates and the different access levels for alternative users.
