### JustAGame

A (very) simple game to showcase the power of [HTML5](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML5) + [WebSockets](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebSocket)

and the use of [Amazon Web Services (AWS)](http://aws.amazon.com) [APIs](http://aws.amazon.com/code) within an application.

It is based on the [mozilla-festival](https://github.com/robhawkes/mozilla-festival) repository by [Rob Hawkes](http://rawkes.com) ([@robhawkes](https://twitter.com/robhawkes)).

The server side code is written in [Node.js](http://nodejs.org) with [Socket.IO](http://socket.io).

I used the [AWS SDK for Node.js](http://aws.amazon.com/sdkfornodejs/)

to log client connections/disconnections in an [Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS)](http://aws.amazon.com/sqs/) queue.

The game is using WebSockets for bidirectional communication between clients (i.e. browsers) and server.

I used [Redis](http://redis.io) (managed by [ElastiCache](http://aws.amazon.com/elasticache)) for session data.

You can use the accelerometer of a (mobile) device to move.

You can check if your device supports “DeviceOrientation” events [here](http://caniuse.com/deviceorientation).

This is a work-in-progress as I'm going to add other sample features in the (near?) future.

The latest version is currently deployed here (I used [AWS Elastic Beanstalk](http://aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/)):

Any feedback is welcome! :)
