I have no networking experience, but I’m pretty good with JavaScript.

I am an indie game developer who enjoys pixel art games.

That already assumed that I knew how to use Node.js. Also, what is Node.js? The website was confusing.

There's client-side and server-side coding. You need to start delving into server-side stuff. There's no easy way around it, if you want to code your own multiplayer game in JavaScript. Node.js uses JavaScript so... I just thought that might be perfect for you. Feel free to learn another language though. ?

Good luck!
