Hi, I’m Nathan, an apprentice programmer and pixel artist and my experience on BYOND dates back to about 2010. I’m basically pretty stupid with BYOND but after trying something over and over I usually get the desired result. I’m currently designing a sidescroller PVP game that uses pixel movement (fangame le gasp).

My big goal is to port the game over to the webclient, but with testing so far, most optimizations seem to only marginally improve issues with framerates and the game’s custom physics framework. I mentioned I’m pretty novice as a programmer, so it’s likely the case that I’m just not looking in the right places and that this is entirely possible with BYOND 2019, but I have to ask: how far has the webclient come since its deployment, and how capable do you believe it is being used for a game with custom pixel movement? Apologies if I sound like a serf.
