Ask HN: How do they build browser based multiplayer io games?

1 pointsby bnormative10 months ago
there are lots of games like www.voxiom.io, www.diep.io or www.agar.io where you play multiplayer games within the browser and they are sometimes even built in a 3d environment.<p>How do they actually build these games ? Is it really based on html&#x2F;css ?

Yep, it’s based on html&#x2F;css&#x2F;javascript usually. With things like WebGL you have a full 3D rendering engine in the browser. They’ll often use WebRTC or web sockets for game updates from the server&#x2F;other players.<p>There’s a list of HTML game engines if you want to dig deeper: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;html5gameengine.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;html5gameengine.com&#x2F;</a>
