lit: a better WebSocket game server

lit is under development! There are still many things to do, it is not ready for production.

Thank you so much @Ulydev for the awesome logo!

Demo

I made a demo game using this library, check it out

Why this?

Few months ago, I built a cloned version of AgarIO. I'm still not happy with the networking part of the game yet. It still has some bugs, it's laggy and unable to handle the large amount of players. So I decided to quit using Socket.IO and moved to a lower level library called Engine.IO. It focuses on binary data instead of string data, thus improving performance.

Getting started:

Server

npm install

npm start

Backend logic is located in server.js

Client

Navigate to http://localhost:3000/

Game logic is located in public/js/game.js
