multiplayer games with socket.io
I've always been interested in making multiplayer games, but until recently always though that the setup costs (both money and time) would be too much. Using Socket.io and Glitch, you can actually get something up and running pretty quickly!

If you haven't played with Socket.io before, this is the place to start! Remixing the chat demo is a great way to see how the server/client interactions work.
This was my first experiment with a multiplayer game, and I'm still super proud of it! You can read more about it here, if you like.
This is very much a work-in-progress, where I'm experimenting with making something like an MMO entirely with Socket.io. It's on pause right now, but it has good bones (a little dino pun for you), like a chat system and MOBA-style movement. You can remix it to get a head start on your own game!
Okay, this one was just a bad idea. You know those online sound boards, that let you play like farts or the airhorns? What if those were multiplayer?
Yeah, it's exactly what you think it'll be like.
Maybe the closest thing I've made to the original Socket.io example, in that it's a chatroom, but it's⌠really small?
