Ask HN: Game engine for multiplayer JavaScript games like agar.io?
Or else, where is the best way to start writing one?
Need to able to handle online real-time multiplayer without much lag.
- davelnewton 8y agoI'm not entirely sure what you mean by "game engine" here.
- stealthcat 8y agoMaybe I meant both back end and front end? - High performance server code handling continuous multiple requests - Rendering engine and game logic
- davelnewton 8y agoThose are very different things; on the client side I wouldn't write my own considering how many are already out there, and they're battle-tested and good. On the back end I'd caution against making a premature choice based on what you think will happen: there are many options, most of which will handle most of what people write. Only real advice is to go for something that scales horizontally.
