iiegor / slither

An open source implementation of the slither.io server

slither

This is supposed to be an open source implementation of the slither server built on top of Node.js that emulates the full functionality of the original server.

Install

You can get the latest stable release from the releases page. Once you've downloaded it, you are ready to run the following commands:

$ cd slither
$ npm install

Obviously, if you want to try the latest version, you can clone the master branch but can have bugs because it's a development branch, so don't use it for production.

The server depends on Node.js, npm and other packages that are downloaded and installed during the installation process.

Run

You can start the server by executing $ script/run or $ npm start.

The server will be accesible at localhost:8080 but you will need a client (you can use the original one) to be able to play the game.

Plugins

If you want to install a plugin, add it to packageDependencies in the package.json with the respective version.

{
  ...
  "packageDependencies": {
    "my-plugin": "0.1.0"
  }
}

and run $ script/install.

slither's Issues

Can this run on it's own?

I've downloaded this private server and been using it for a while but the snake doesnt seem to move very well. Is there another github repository I need to run this or what?

Stop Using CoffeeScript

If you want a faster response time use regular javascript which includes the opportunity to optimize the code even more. Coffescript can only be as fast as javascript, but never faster. This is important to consider to reduce lag and latency.

For more details visit this site, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9047276/is-coffeescript-faster-than-javascript

Implement server command line

Ad command to the console like:

• mass (give a player some mass by using his ID)
• kill (Kill a player by using his ID)
• playerlist (shows the player IDs)
• takemass (take some mass of a player by using his ID)
• help (show all the commands)

if you type anything thats not a command the show this message shows up:

• This is not a Command. Type 'help' for help

Add Patch notes to releases

Can you please add a few patch notes when you release a new version.
E.g: For 0.0.9 you could add something like:
-Improved Snake Movement

Need help

"You can use the original one from slither.io, just go there, open the console, paste: sos = [{ ip: "localhost", po: 8080, ac: 34, ptm: 121 }] and press the play button."

Could you enlighten me some more? I can't figure this out.

I get 'Upgrade required' on the webpage

When I run the bash script it works just fine:
behnam@LinuxNet> bash script/run /tmp/slither
[Application][DEBUG] You are running slither-server 0.0.3
[Application][INFO] Starting the server in dev at port 8080...
[Server][INFO] Listening on port 8080

But when I open up http://localhost:8080 all I get is:
Upgrade Required

Here is how the screenshot looks like:

Also:
behnam@LinuxNet> node --version /tmp/slither
v5.10.

behnam@LinuxNet> npm --version /tmp/slither
3.8.6

Any thoughts?

Snake moves quickly and there is no food

Ok i have a problem with this server when i join the server i am realllllly fat and i men relay fast and there is no food and i am not on the mini map.

Port 444 as Default Port

You can make Port 444 as default Port like the Slither.io server

Upgrade Required

When going to localhost:8080 it says: "Upgrade Required"

will help others ppl too =)

please can you upload your local client? so i can test when i have no connection to use original client.
thanks in advise.

Cannot Move

iiegor i cannot move in version 0.0.5
(i can join now thanks to version 0.0.5)

any demos?

hello who have demo ?

Client

Will there eventually be a client made so we don't have to use the slither.io url?

A Round Map

You can make the Map Round (and with the Red Border of course)

Client/Server Feature|Chat Feature|ECT

This is going to have some great potential! We need to add a chat system and we need to make a client that works with the server, Almost like cigar agario for the popular game agario. Another great feature would be to have a gameserver thing so we can edit like food, start mass ect.

snake doesnt stop at end of the map

1 of 2 problems could be occuring

1. the map isnt loading
2. the snake isnt stopping

How to (maybe) fix food problems

I recently searched slither.io in github and found this working, basic copy of slither.io. It's very basic but there's a lot of code you could use to fix bugs in this repo. This is the repo: https://github.com/whxaxes/slither . Hope you like it!

Performance affected when spawning food

Maybe due to a bad generation of the random spawn position, the quantity of starting food or the size of the map.

Map Problem

Map Problem!

Best repo so far

I have been searching for slither private server for a while and i found one, this is it. I love this repo keep up the good work.

Snake doesn't move smootly

Whenever I go to play a game my snake doesn't move very well and no food comes up. Don't know if this is just me or something. Here's a screenshot:

The snake just continues to move like this. If you look in the bottom right as well, you can see that it says I'm off the map.I also get this in the console:

I have a feeling this may have something to do with pos = math.randomSpawnPoint() in src/snake.coffee

Upgrade required [Error]

if i go to localhost:8080 (8080 is the port of the server) the stays Upgrade Required

So how to fix that (or join it)

0.0.11 - Bug with movement

Something must have been done to the movement because now the snake is moving very fast. Think you should change this back to it's original and it should be fine

Address

The Sever Cannot find my IP so the server doesn't launch. Is there A Way to Type In A IP So It Doesn't Have To Do It For You?

Help with console connection

Just a quick question, what does sos = [{ ip: "localhost", po: 8080, ac: 34, ptm: 121 }] mean? I know the first 2 parts are up and port but what do the last 2 mean?

will yo

1- will you share web files
2- will you add chatbox
3- is it working but without really realesed version

Either Really zoomed in or really fast?

when I join my snake moves really fast and I'm not sure if iim going really fast or if I'm really zoomed in but i think I'm zoomed in. pls help??

Increase vector Snake direction code

var incX = ((float)Math.Cos((Math.PI / 180) * this.Snake.CurrentAngle));
var incY = ((float)Math.Sin((Math.PI / 180) * this.Snake.CurrentAngle));

That for calculate the good increase vector for snake direction
(You need to convert you angle to radian like this)
