Exactly how did they make agar.io perfectly? (networking)
Hi
My other networking question is abandoned. I think it has become a snail's nest, so I'll simplify it...pithy...
How is agar.io's networking perfectly natural, with no lag? You can turn your circle with a mouse click or finger tap, and the response never ever stalls.
Some dude has a javascript agar.io networking tutorial out there, below , which is v good, if you want to make a LAN game or ONLY localhost game, pure TCP/IP, but it isn't optimized for the big bad world, ..distance.
There is no UDP w a TCP safety net. How exactly did they make agario perfectly? Browsers eliminate UDP. I have a good Websockets link below that I like..
I am completely comfortable making Java game servers, btw
BTW, That javascript tutorial is here
I like this page I found for WebSocket aspects here
Thanks

Hi
How is that going?
I suspect I'll be more comfortable making the server in Java. - sockets
I saw an article that said UDP speedy packet firing is not crucial anymore? Does that sound plausible?
Thanks

How is that going, the server investigation? I have access to a private business server that I intend to use for io games.
I am focusing all my attention on the server aspect, now.

Hey Beavoid,
Unfortunately, I've been swarmed with work so I haven't been able to deep dive what their server information says.
Also, just to clarify what I mean when I say server, agar.io-clone/src/server/ is what I mean. I was interested in looking at their Server.js file as that tends to hold all the Express.js configuration and connection management info.

Seeing your question also made me curious and I stumbled upon this: https://github.com/huytd/agar.io-clone
It seems to have all the needed information for recreating the game along with the server code.
I'll also be reviewing it to see how well the node.js express.js implementation works.
