README excerpt

# WaymoWorld

A multiplayer browser game: players drive Waymos around a city and shoot lasers at each other.

## Status

- **Frontend** (`index.html`): multiplayer game. A start modal asks for a username; a leaderboard (top right) shows players online and kill counts. Every other car is a real player (the old single-player bots were removed).
- **Backend** (`backend/`): WebSocket game server. Tracks players, broadcasts 20 Hz position snapshots, validates hits, and owns HP / kills / deaths.
