To configure and run the BrowserQuest server, please follow the instructions in the top directory of this repository.
The server has a status URL which can be used as a health check or simply as a way to monitor player population.
Send a GET request to: http://[host]:[port]/status
It will return a JSON array containing the number of players in all instanced worlds on this game server.
The shared directory is the only one in the project which is a server dependency.
