Current Gotchas

The websocket URL will need to be updated in config.js whenever the ngrok server changes.

Running

## quickly open the player / game views
open player.html
open game.html

## run the websocket server on 8080
npm start

## simulate a mob of players
npm run sneeze

### simulate w/ custom settings (20 players + 60s)
npm run sneeze -- -- -p 20 -t 60

Things to consider

• session storage
• lag will hurt through zoom + with so many players
• bad actors around player ws id?
• bad actors around ws messages?
• name input limit
• names: add a unique per player seed? ws id? so two "ben"s aren't the same face

TODO:

• Cute little stick dudes
  • Make / Add a sprite sheet
