A spare time project with my room mate of a game remake as multiplayer. Goal is to experiment around with project management techniques, p2p software architectures and some technologies.

Context

This project is currently under development. A multiplayer Asteroids game isn’t that exciting by itself, but we use it as a case study for experimenting. Our experiments include:

• GitHub best practices
• browser-to-browser communication with WebRTC
• Best practices for structuring TypeScript projects
• Automated Testing of TypeScript projects
• Exaggerated use of the Law of Demeter to minimize the coupling and maximize the scalability
• Automated Builds and Continious Integration for TypeScript projects

Features

Asteroid Game • Realtime Multiplayer Action • No Server Required • Browser and Mobile

Technologies

• Languages: TypeScript • html5 (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) • UML • JSON
• Web Libraries: WebRTC • phaser • peerJS • requireJS
• Automated Builds: tsd • yo • yeoman • npm • grunt • bower
