Best Practices for Implementing Multiplayer

[Battlesquid]

Hello all. I’ve been working with p5.js and p5.play for some time, and I’ve been interested in making some multiplayer games, but I don’t know if my implementation is well structured. I tried my hand at it with this game and multiplayer works, but it’s rather slow, and I’m thinking it has something to do with the way I implemented the code. Can anyone please provide an explanation of how to implement multiplayer better?

Thanks in advance

What does your game do?

What do you mean is slow? Slow responsiveness? Please provide more objective details.

The game is here. By slow, I mean that the movement is rough.

@Battlesquid – you might try pinging @r4nd0m, who has recently been developing a real-time online multiplayer game with p5.js

I created multiplayer online game with p5js

Hi everyone, I would like to share with community the game I created with p5js as a renderer. It is a realtime multiplayer game, similar to AgarIO and other games in that ecosystem. You can try it out on http://owom.io Feel free to ask any questions regarding tech, and any ideas on how the game might be improved are welcome!
