ajaxAlphaBrandon Ask HN: Is Firebase suitable for a realtime multiplayer game?

Thanks for the reply :)

Could you also give some guidance on these scenarios?

- a player hits a soccer ball, I want all players to see the ball fly through the air. How can I have the ball update its position to all players as it flys through the air?

- a similar question, how can I have an NPC randomly walk around and update all players of its position?

I guess both these problems fall into the same issue of needing a “world” to run things, like managing NPCs or the trajectory of a ball. What do you think? Is that possible?

Thanks for the help :) I appreciate the help
