## Introduction
This project is a multiplayer game developed from scratch. It covers various aspects of game development, from setting up the game to adding unique player attributes, implementing player movement, handling projectiles and collisions, creating a leaderboard, and more. The project culminates in pushing the game live and setting up a domain name.
## Features
- **Player Connection and Disconnection**: Manages multiple players connecting and disconnecting seamlessly.
- **Unique Attributes and Usernames**: Assigns unique attributes and usernames to each player.
- **Real-time Player Movement**: Implements smooth player movement and interactions.
- **Projectiles and Collision Detection**: Handles shooting projectiles and detecting collisions.
- **Leaderboard**: Displays a leaderboard to track player scores.
## Technologies Used
- **HTML5**: For structuring the game interface.
- **CSS3**: For styling the game elements.
- **JavaScript**: For game logic and client-side interactions.
- **Node.js**: For the server-side logic.
- **Socket.IO**: For real-time communication between the server and clients.
## Installation
To run this project locally, follow these steps:
1. **Clone the repository**:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/whispernet/multiplayer-game-with-js.git
```
2. **Navigate to the project directory**:
```sh
cd multiplayer-game-with-js
```
3. **Install dependencies**:
```sh
npm install
```
4. **Start the server**:
```sh
node backend.js
```
5. **Open your browser and navigate to**:
```
http://localhost:3000
```
## Lessons Learned
Throughout this project, I gained valuable insights into:
- **Socket Programming**: Learned how to use Socket.IO for real-time communication.
- **Server-Client Architecture**: Understood how servers and clients interact in a multi-user environment.
- **Game Logic**: Developed logic for player movement, collisions, and score tracking.
- **Project Deployment**: Learned how to deploy a project live and set up a custom domain.
- **Enhanced Interpolation**: Improved the smoothness and responsiveness of gameplay.
