       | Cool project, when you add multiplayer to a simple game without
       | any game engine and want to actually do it right (CSP,
       | interpolation, lag compensation) it gets technical really fast
       | 
       | I spent months trying to make a CS like in Three.js, then I was
       | wondering myself if it was actually worth it
       | 
       | I could just have used a random game engine that can export to
       | WebGL with wasm even if the first loading was bigger, people
       | wouldn't even notice nowadays
       | 
       | WebGPU is coming out if I'm correct, I wonder how good will web
       | games run now

       | Thank you, as someone that has struggled trying things in new
       | spaces I'm sure I've missed out on learning from others who came
       | before me, hit a wall, and then walked away taking their
       | knowledge with them.
       | 
       | I appreciate you sharing your story and work for others.

       | 
       | I think it should be "a .io style," since the next letter
       | pronounced is d.

         | Pedantry activated: in my game dev circles, I've only ever
         | heard .io pronounced "dot i-o" when talking about itch.io. The
         | style, however, I usually hear as "i-o style" or an "i-o game".
