I built this little Web game with Node.js, Three.js, Socket.io and various other libs. I wrote an overview of the tech used here: http://sparklinlabs.com/2013/04/craftstudio-beta-release-date-sparklin-wars/ http://sparklinlabs.com/2013/04/craftstudio-beta-release-dat... If you have any particular questions about how anything was built, I'd be happy to detail it. EDIT: By request, I just made the repository public. It's not open source but feel free to check it out if you want to see how it was made - https://bitbucket.org/sparklinlabs/sparklinwars/ https://bitbucket.org/sparklinlabs/sparklinwars/

Nice project, kudos! Always interesting to see all those new Web tech knotted together for greater purposes. Do you have a public repo to browse your Coffee-scripts?

  Just opened it up at: https://bitbucket.org/sparklinlabs/sparklinwars/ https://bitbucket.org/sparklinlabs/sparklinwars/ - Feel free to check it out and learn from it :)

    Great little game, especially consider such a small amount of time was taken to write it. Also great that you'v'e released the source code. I can think of loads of very fun little multiplayer games you could write with this; for office lunchtimes, etc. Great job! P.S. I killed you earlier :)

Nice job, thanks for opening the repo. Simple though the gameplay is, and knowing very little little about {Node,Three}.js, I have to admit the game changed my mind a little about what is possible in "only" javascript.

  Another game in a similar vein that came up on HN a couple months ago is http://bombermine.com/ http://bombermine.com/ -- that's the game that changed my perspective about the possibilities for javascript MMOs. Bombermine's source code is not open though, so it's nice the source code for this one is open, to dig in and see the mechanics behind it!

well done! what kind of server is it running on?

  It's a VM I rent (and use for various projects) on a fairly beefy server. I don't have the specs at hand sorry.
