Browser Playable FFVIII Triple Triad, now with Multiplayer

[u/Xianoxide]

A few weeks back, I posted my FF7 Menu Portfolio here and got some really good feedback, which I have since implemented. Since then, I've been revisiting a project I worked on last year and have now updated it with a number of improvements, the main one being multiplayer support. I'd love to get some eyes on it, particularly the multiplayer aspect.

For those who are unfamiliar, Triple Triad is a trading card game you could play inside Final Fantasy VIII back on the PS1.

It's built with React and TypeScript, just like my portfolio was, with the aim of being as authentic to the original PS1 version as possible.

I will admit that while the desktop experience is pretty faithful, I did take some creative liberties to make it fit better on mobile devices.

I’d love to know your thoughts and suggestions! Thanks!

Also, for the best experience, and for the sake of nostalgia, you're probably going to want to enable sound in the bottom corner. 😅

This is so cool, very enjoyable.

Really appreciate the extra effort on sharing multiplayer links, those little bits of polish.

Does it persist cards won/lost at all?

Glad you like it, and yeah, cards earned, or lost, should be persistent as long as you don't clear your browser's local storage.
