In agar.io, how much overlap is needed to eat another player or virus?

Let
R
= the radius of the larger circler
= the radius of the smaller circled
= the distance between the centers
When two circles touch (d < R + r
), nothing happens. However, I noticed that even when the center of a smaller circle is in a larger circle (d < R
), nothing happens until they move slightly closer.
What is the condition for eating other objects? How much overlap is needed?
Best Answer
Here's a summary of Timmy Jim's answer for an agar.io clone.
(R-4)² > 1.1(r-4)²
and1.75d < R
to eat playersd < R
to eat viruses
Interestingly, d < R - r
when the small circle is entirely inside the large circle. 1.75d < R
means when R > 7r/3
(the larger circle is 2.3x larger in radius, or ~5.4x larger in mass), the small circle can survive even if it's entirely inside the large one.

How big do you have to be to eat viruses in Agario?
You can consume viruses if you are split into 16 cells. One of them has to be at least 130 in mass (or 10% larger than the virus) to consume the viruses. You gain 100 mass from each virus you eat. If you try to eat a virus and you are not split into 16 cells, the virus will pop you and you will only gain 10 mass.How does virus work in Agario?
From the wiki: The Virus is a special kind of entity existing in all agar.io modes. They appear as cell-like entities which are surrounded in spikes. When a cell of 133 mass or greater consumes a virus, they will split into many pieces, making them easy targets for other cells, but gain 100 mass.How do you always win in agar io?
Move the mouse to move your blob. Your cell will automatically move toward your mouse cursor. Press the Space Bar to split your cell or cells in two. Press W to eject mass.More answers regarding in agar.io, how much overlap is needed to eat another player or virus?
Answer 2
Hmm... I think I've heard this before. Of what I remember, I think you have to be about 110-115% the size of the person you are trying to eat.
