- Modular framework (server / client / window / widgets / games)
- Low / medium level of programming required
- Powerful API
- Integrated
[NDDB](http://nodegame.github.com/NDDB/docs/nddb.js.html)
Javascript database
- Server can run multiple games at the same time
- Powerful and customizible waiting rooms
- Monitor interface
- Works on mobile devices and tablets
- Bots (for playing) and Phantoms (for testing)
- Installation is required only for the server, clients just need their browser windows

of game theory. It is called the

it follows the steps:

your platform
2. Download the latest version of [git](http://www.git-scm.com) for
your platform
3. Download [installer](http://nodegame.org/nodegame-installer.js), and install nodegame: `node nodegame-installer`
4. Enter installation directory.
5. Start the server with the command: `node launcher.js`
6. Open one tab pointing to `localhost:8080`
7. Select Ultimatum game
8. Open more tabs, or start a bot through the waiting room interface
7. Check the monitor interface at
`localhost:8080/ultimatum/monitor`
