Hey,

For Diep.io, it's completely server side and very little happens on the client side. That is intentional as Agar.io had a problem with "private servers" popping up which were actually people ripping (read stealing) the client side code, putting their ads in there, hosting it on their own website and pointing it at their server emulator.

It comes from an old game I made when I was a kid called Diepix. There's no reason for the name "Diepix" other than sounding cool.




Could you allow multiple devs to work on Diep.io?

These devs could do:

reddit.com/u/--Nylon

reddit.com/u/haykam821

reddit.com/u/Koulatko

This could solve this diep.io monthly updates issue. I really hope you allow more devs.

And also (if you dont know what discord is, discord is a website where people can chat live), Join the Diep.io discord made from the moderators of the Diep.io subreddit: https://discordapp.com/invite/YDSF2wD#discordbutton


I have not seen the game but to me it ushers upp images of going into a cave or a hole. Diep actually does mean _deep_ in my native language. Thanks for clarifying where the name comes from :-)


Other than hiding your code behind an API, were there any other ways to protect your IP?


Ah, got it. Thanks for the answer.
