Can I create a online game using meteor like slither.io?

Question

I'm wondering about meteor reactivity and I have an idea about one online game like slither.io.

Can I create online game because meteor optimistic UI offers simpliest way to update data without reloading the page.

Does it possible ?

Sorry for stupid question I'm relatively new about Meteor.

Answer 1

Based on my experience with Meteor.

• For prototyping then demo to someone, then "YES"
• For going to production with millions of users playing at the same time + minimum network delay + high performance, then "NO" (or we need to do some secret workaround to gain more performance)

Btw, Slither.io front-end is mainly using HTML5 canvas, so using Meteor with a lot of built-in libraries for front-end (Blaze, MiniMongo, ...) is not a good idea.

IMHO, nodejs on back-end, websocket / socketio ft. HTML5 canvas are enough.
