Documentation
Socket.io relays messages from the client to the server and vice-versa. Information sent from the client-side (browser) include keyboard and mouse input, player collisions with other players, and spawning bullets.
Furthermore, in order for the player to interact with other players or game objects on the map, the client must communicate with the server. Whenever the player moves, shoots bullets and takes damage, the clients sends a message to the server and then updated information is sent to all the clients. In addition, the server periodically spawns obstacles in the game, and updates the positions of game objects. 
If falls below zero health during the game, they will be disconnected from the game. For example, if a low-health player is hit by a bullet, they will be discon-nected, removed from the game and the other clients will be updated.
