NodeGame: Tactics - A (soon to be) massive Space RTS... sort of..

=================================================================

This is a work in progress space RTS with a stone/paper/scissor game mechanic,

using a Node.js server and WebSocket clients for realtime multiplayer experience.

# Status

The project is in its early phase, currently most of the time goes into creating

a simple to use server/client architecture on which the actual game will then be

build upon.

## Features for the base architecture

- ✓ Server that can handle multiple games / rooms

- ✓ Tick synced Server / Clients with synced RNG and time

- ✓ Joining / Leaving Games 

- ✓ Sync Player / Client lists

- ✓ Simple Event System on Server and Client

- ✓ Map players to clients and the other way around on the client

- ✓ Login via Twitter OAuth

- Login UI

- Simple Chat 

- (auto) Choosing of player colors

- Creating games with settings

# The Game

There's a basic frontend demo avaiable in my [DropBox](http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2332843/tactics/index.html).

The final game will hopefully be nicely balanced an run on Desktop as well as 

on iPhone and iPad.

## Gameplay

Focus will be on managing the giant fleets and ship designs as well as some 

kind of resources (hyperspace arrival time?).

## Tech behind syncing a game with 200+ ships

Game logic will be shared between server and client and be based on a RNG which 

is seeded by the server. Fly paths of ships are caluclated via a time based 

interpolation, effects and everything else will also use the RNG.

Of course, actual validation will be performed by the server.
