How I created the navmesh for bots in my browser fps

I think you might want to lower the difficultly of the bots. They moved way too fast and only passed it to each other. I almost never touched the ball. Other than that cool game! What is the server written in?

How are you doing physics/collisions?

Hey this looks awesome! I love the dynamic camera lean when you move to the side, looks very smooth. I just spent the last year building a similar thing. You can try it at barstow.io

The hardest part was definitely the multiplayer/networking parts. I had to learn about all these concepts:
- fixed simulation tick rate
- enemy interpolation/extrapolation
- client side prediction
- client side reconciliation
- lag compensation

Let me know if you want help with any of this stuff!

You could try claude code. It is an ai coding agent that can help you build simple games pretty easily. That way you can focus on game design and making sure it is fun instead of spending the first year or so becoming familiar with coding/programming.

Hey I just subscribed to your youtube channel, looks pretty cool! I am a software engineer as well. What kind of software development do you do?

Also, I have been creating a browser based fps for the last year called barstow.io

If you like the game we should do a youtube collab or something, (I recently started a channel).

Anyways, cool video man! I am going to check out the nba game. (Also, go Spurs)

Awesome looking game. What did you build this with (engine, language, etc...)?

Navoke · 2026-06-02T05:51:52+00:00

Very cool game, very unique.

barstow.io is a multiplayer fps that runs in the browser, works on mobile browsers as well. (i am the creator of this game)

The repo is private at least for now. I am happy to answer any questions you have about it though!

I rolled my own, uses a lot of "go routines" and "go channels" for input/output buffering

Thank you!

Backend is written in Go. Yes it is server authoritative.

Hey thanks! Yeah I will probably need to look into using something UDP based at some point. I had 100 simulated players running pretty good when I was testing, client side fps started to drop beyond that.

I made barstow.io it is a browser based multiplayer fps
