tstrimple/Node-Mayhem

Multiplayer HTML5 shooter with Node.js, Socket.io and Melon.js

A simple multiplayer shooter built with Melon.js and Node.js

Introduction

Over one weekend, we (Helen Zeng, Timothy Strimple & Felix Rieseberg) built a tiny multiplayer shooter that is completely browser-based and powered by Node.js. We've used Melon.js, a bunch of Creative Commons-licensed art and coded our way to a quick, easy and fun shooter for Node Knockout 2013. Please vote for us!

This version has been cleaned up and made open-source for people who'd like to get a jumpstart on building a similar game. Feel free to use it to build your own game, but please understand that we used art found online, so please respect their individiual licenses.
