Node Mayhem

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! Visit the game site on Node Knockout and click the "Vote" button at the bottom of the page!

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.
