Question: Cannot eat anybody

[ghost]

I just downloaded and installed it on Ubuntu 15.10, but no matter how large we grow, we cannot eat each other. Is there a setting I need to change?

[ghost]

Does it works when you go back to commit ef5bdf5? If so, it's a bug in my code and I'll try fixing it...

[ghost]

Yes, that worked! We can now eat blobs!! Thanks for the last good commit #.

[zleitzke]

Still not working for me.

[ghost]

Try commit ef5bdf5. I'll fix it soon and I've already said that.

[zleitzke]

Tried it, still doesn't seem to work.

[ghost]

Are you 5 mass bigger than the other player and is the other players mass more than 10?

[zleitzke]

Yes

[ghost]

That's weird, can you try the `es6-refactor` branch?

[zleitzke]

How would I clone that branch?

[ghost]

With `git clone -b es6-refactor https://github.com/huytd/agar.io-clone.git`

Eating won't work for me as well

[geopi]

Making a heavily modified version i stumbled into that bug too.

The bug I had was related to the the quadtree used for collision detection.

There is a temporary fix until a solution is found :

In server.js remove this :

 tree.clear();
        users.forEach(tree.put);
        var playerCollisions = [];

        var otherUsers =  tree.get(currentPlayer, check);

        playerCollisions.forEach(collisionCheck);

and put this instead :

        var playerCollisions = [];
         users.forEach(check);
        playerCollisions.forEach(collisionCheck);

It basically forces the detection in the whole map

Its dirty, I know.

I've found a fix but it includes removing the split

go to config.json and change limitSplit to "limitSplit": 1,

[johnsmitherson]

The problem I have is that smaller player is eaten only if it is in the center of bigger player, no matter what the size different. Can someone show what to change to make it that smaller player is eaten as soon it is completely under bigger player?

[aspriddell]

I made a sort of fix by finding the code in server.js (line 538) and removed the multipliers. As far as I know it is working much better.
