Paper.io-inspired Game

Project Description

This repository contains the code for a game inspired by Paper.io. The objective of the game is to conquer as much territory as possible by drawing lines and enclosing areas. Players start with a small piece of land and expand it by moving their character around using keyboard or mouse controls. The more territory a player captures, the higher their score will be. Players must also be cautious of opponents who might invade their space.
