MMO Asteroids

Wow, this is amusing. Seems like there are a lot of cool things you could do with Firebase.

It's fun. Congratulations!

It also seems that spawning happens only in the top left section of the canvas, which makes that area especially crowded. It's a bit too easy to get killed right after spawning;…

Awesome! I've been using Firebase for a while now and this further proves that it has so much potential! Every day I see more and more apps being built on it.

Very cool. Quick feedback: there are too many players on one screen. Getting immediately run into and killed repeatedly by random players careening around isn't a great user…

I'll agree it's multiplayer, but considering gameplay goes from "fun and challenging" to "frustrating" at around 10-15 players, I doubt its massive-ness. However, if the map…

God mode: "Game.ship.collision = function() {}" Also "Game.lives = 1000;" and "Game.score = 1000; updateScore();" etc.

The scoreboard has been hacked already!!!! Also, I'm not sure if I was regrouped with players who weren't signed in but after logging in with Twitter I no longer saw any other…

You don't need the debug console, though: the database seems to simply be a shared scratch space, so anyone can just manipulate anyone else's state using the JavaScript API.

Please can you make it scale to for a 1024*768 resolution? Thanks. I found it great fun dog fighting with another when it's a bit quieter. Annoyances were someone hacking the…

``` > Please can you make it scale to for a 1024*768 resolution? ``` Mmmm. Doesn't fit in my 1280x800 screen's viewport either, which is a very common size.

I would definitely lower the inertia, it's not very enjoyable when there's such little control over what your doing also there's a bit of lag but that's to be expected with the…

This is very cool! What would push it over the top for me would be the ability to start a game of it with my friends...

Is there anyway to make sure you start with specific people? Awesome job on the game :)

The current mode is impressive, although may I suggest a co-op mode where you don't shoot other players but rather actual asteroids? Might be less crazy/frustrating that way.

The problem with calling this Asteroids is that there are no asteroids. :) This reminds me more of an old DOS shareware game called Spacewar…

How do you happen to own asteroids.com? There must be a good story! :)

Uh... Spacewar was an old PDP-1 game. It predates DOS by a little bit. And the microprocessor. And DRAM. And raster displays (the output was two analog channels fed to a raw…

There was another one called Subspace (now Continuum) http://www.getcontinuum.com/. I loved the early days of that game. 1997-ish.

Cool job! I wish there some an MMO that's like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SubSpace_(video_game) Good times…

.... looking for http://getcontinuum.com? :)

Only partially related, but there was a fantastic game called Star Control 2 once upon a time. The main single player game was a big long quest, but it also had a 'Melee' mode…

Brings back memories of Zap from torque network library. http://sourceforge.net/projects/opentnl/files/Zap/ This little sample game turned out to be tons of fun and is a great…
