How to induce latency in development environment?

[Quitalizner]

Colyseus provides a way of faking latency. We can set the latency to around 200ms which seems realistic.
This could help us to implement stuff to provide a smooth gameplay when the player encounters latency.

Does geckos.io/server have any such methods?

I guess you are looking for https://github.com/geckosio/snapshot-interpolation#about.

It can be used with or without geckos.

[Quitalizner]

No, I'm not taking about snapshot-interpolation.

But this here->

Could be helpful to simulate latency in development environment

For windows, you could try this tool: https://github.com/jagt/clumsy

Maybe warp the send and receive functions in setTimeout()?

[Quitalizner]

Hmm, yeah. That might work
