Technical Details:

Server-side (Node.js with Express and Socket.io)

• The server uses Express to create a web server and serves static files from the /public directory.
• It defines a set of spawn points where players can join the game.
• Socket.io is used to handle WebSocket connections and real-time communication between the server and clients.
• When a player connects, a new player object is created and added to the players object, representing the player's state.
• The server sends the current list of players to the newly connected player.
• It listens for various events such as player movement, shooting, and disconnection, and broadcasts these events to other players.

Client-side (Phaser 3)

• The game is created using Phaser 3.
• The game scene is responsible for most of the game logic.
• It handles player input via virtual joysticks for movement and shooting.
• Players can shoot bullets with cooldown and reload mechanics.
• The game world is tile-based and loaded from a Tiled map.
• Players and bullets are represented as sprites, and collisions are handled with the tilemap.
• Player movement, shooting, and other actions are synchronized with the server using WebSocket events.
• The game includes features like player health, respawn, and kill tracking.
• There's a title scene that serves as the starting screen.
