No-server demo

There is a simple browser-only demo in the NoServerDemo folder. Check it out to quickly see if you dig it. Use Google Chrome!

Build

With docker:

To build and run the server in docker:

$ make start

this builds and runs a docker image tagged agario on port 8080, and also uses the Server directory as a shared volume.

With gradle

build and run the server:

$ cd Server
$ gradle build run 

TODO

• Fixing time-stepping on server and clients
• Handling blob generation and synchronization across clients
• Collision Detection (with Quad trees?)
• Porting physics to Java on the server
• Implementing Source strategy for client-server communication. Better explained here (in progress)
• Replacing string data communication between server and clients with other formats/encoding. (JSON or raw binary?)
• Better effects (added blobbiness/elasticity effects)
• Tweaking input processing and buffering across threads
• Optimization for CPU-heavy code
• Creating a pre-game panel for preliminary settings and player name input
• Splitting upon colliding into viruses (in progress)
