This is a really fun game. BTW you can use the space bar to shoot and divide yourself to _attack_ other cells.

Doesn't work for me. Is there a threshold for dividing? OTOH, the game is choppy as hell for me, maybe that's the reason.

I think you can't divide if you have 16 cells.

If you have 16 cells, your big ones can also eat the green things and grow, instead of getting split up.

Is it possible to merge back in to one? Can you 'eat' yourself?

Yes, though I'm still not sure what triggers it.

I'm pretty sure it's a timer. Cells cannot merge for X seconds after splitting, but after that any two cells that have passed the threshold can be merged.

I think it's fucking hilarious and that people should not try their hardest to be offended at every chance.

I'm not offended but I'd like to show it to my child.

There is a settings option to choose no names. That should allow you to spare your child the vulgarities of words, He or She will still have to deal with being eaten however.

While looking at the js source code and modifying it a bit I was able to program keys W A S D to move my cell around. But it doesn't work after a bit. The protocol is send the position of the mouse (which corresponds to the cell) to the server and then it calculates change over time to get a velocity. So if I move too much it starts going forever in one direction. Although this is using a quad tree implementation for…

Where did you find the source code? I have been looking everywhere and cannot find it!
