Overview:
Picario is a proof of concept project demonstrating the possibility of large multiplayer games on the memory limited lua-based pico-8 platform. Picario is a simple recreation of the popular browser-based game Agar.io for the purpose of demonstrating a networking library.Â
To see multiplayer in action you can load up multiple tabs or connect from any device with a browser. It works with mouse or touchscreen.

Came up with idea to try and incorporate multiplayer to a pico-8 cartridge.
Zach and I worked on the server implementation using python and web sockets.

We implemented seamless add/drop player functionality
