I loved this game back in the day and was looking for a way to play it just last month! I will definitely be trying this.

Yes, that's true, we could add an API to let the server generate the random number so it is unpredictable, I can consider that for a future update :)

Yes, I spent quite a few years building and iterating on some quite elaborate mechanisms to handle latency too: https://easel.games/docs/learn/multiplayer/rollback-netcode - it’s taken a lot of continual play

Less latency in multiplayer games or Zoom calls. Because light can travel around the Earth 7 times in one second, that means one roundtrip to a server on the other side of the world must take ~140 ms (1/7th of a second) which is a time

I always use em or px, basically nothing else (except perhaps vw or vh). When something should be relative to the size of text, it's em. When it should be relative to the size of images, it's px.

I think if you're looking for other people to use your game engine, it helps to have one killer feature. I'm not clear what yours is at this point. Even if your killer feature is not something you have yet completely implemented,

haha this is cool :) What made you choose to code this as a webgame? In either case, good idea much easier to share

I would LOVE to one day make a source-available standalone license for Easel that you can run on your own server! I just have a bunch of problems to solve to get there before it’s ready. 1. The people who really love Easel right now are tee

I would love to make a license where you could export and then you can run it forever yourself on your own server! It’s not because I don’t want to do these things, it’s just I’m one person and I never get the time to do everything I would
