Play with Giant Robots

Tristan Dunn

A few of us participated in the Node Knockout this weekend. Our team built a real-time, multiplayer tower defense game named after this very site.

We’re all fairly new to Node, but it was a breeze working with express, a Sinatra like framework, and socket.io, a socket library with several transports for cross-browser support. The client uses canvas, CSS and JavaScript with some fancy graphics. We’re really looking forwarding to working on it more after the voting ends this Friday.
