The actual software is a bit of a mess as well, I responded to him with a few points that will never work if this ever got big, it is all easy mistakes new programmers make:

• Packets for updates are being sent every single frame! When they should only be sent at around 10 times a second or even less, and then positions should be interpolated between them.
• Packets contain all of the data for every player every time(including the chat that the player already has!) and its completely unnecessary.
• My client is sending updates every single frame(including the same chat every frame!), when it could only be sending changes.

I make shitty web games(https://antwar.io/) but I mean I at least knew not to do this, it is only a matter of time before the server falls over.

Oh hey thanks! I assumed CloudFront automatically set the cache-control headers when coming back from the server but I realized it was set to check my server for the cache-control. Changed that now, I'll probably deal with the hashing later on, I haven't actually released the game yet.

Sorry if my original comment sounded harsh. Anyways thanks for the response! Hope it works out for you.

Pretty neat idea! I'm also a self taught programmer my self with around 10 years of experience. I have been making web based multiplayer games for a while now.

(My most recent one I am working on that is unreleased is a multiplayer game where you are an ant, it handles many entities/clients at once: https://antwar.io/)

Here are a few problems I noticed that will absolutely destroy the server the second it has a somewhat large amount of people and also cost you a lot of money:

• Packets for updates are being sent every single frame! When they should only be sent at around 10 times a second or even less, and then positions should be interpolated between them.
• Packets contain all of the data for every player every time(including the chat that the player already has!) and its completely necessary.
• My client is sending updates every single frame(including the same chat every frame!), when it could only be sending changes.

Feel free to message me about these I would love to give advice and explain in more detail! :)

Also, what are your plans for monetization exactly?
