An open-source clone of the Agar.io browser game built with Node.js, Socket.IO, and HTML5 canvas. Game logic runs server-side while the client handles canvas rendering, with support for chat, viruses, and mobile play.

Use cases

• host my own agar.io-style multiplayer game server
• learn how to build a real-time multiplayer browser game with socket.io
• study how server-authoritative game logic works with html5 canvas rendering
• deploy a browser game to heroku quickly
• customize an open-source io game with my own skins and rules
• example of websocket-based game state synchronization

When to choose

• you want a working, self-hostable agar.io clone with multiplayer and chat
• you want a learning codebase for real-time canvas games on Node.js
• you want a simple deployable browser game to modify

When to avoid

• you need a production-scale game with matchmaking, accounts, and anti-cheat
• you want a general-purpose game engine rather than a specific game
• you need native mobile apps rather than a browser game
