#42HN gentle hug of death.
On a tech site like this can we please bring 'slashdotted' as the verb to describe a non-malicious DDoS?
/. atleast earned the right to coin the term.

#43Thanks for the Friday fun.
Bug report: Me and another player happened to spawn on the same spot, locking us in place and producing a satanic screeching sound.
Other than that, great mechanics!

#44Most of this code dates back to 1998, when I built a little 2 player Joust game to push the bounds of what you could do with Div (and at the time Layer) tags in the latest browsers such as IE4 and Netscape 3. Surprisingly, most of it still worked when I thawed it out recently, provided your browser knew about document.all. Over the weekend, I brought it up to date a bit and introduced it to Socket.io. Thus far it has…
I played Joust a lot as a kid, the character movement looks a really good reproduction of the original to me.

#45Neat! It's definitely crashed right now. I think we hurt it.

#48Great work on the 'feel' of the movement. Would love to know how the gravity/jumping works.
I'm a little disappointed the sound effects of the feet are missing - that was one of my favorite things about Joust.

#49Very cool! Bug: sometimes my ostrich would stop walking. I could even press the arrow key pointing the opposite direction. The sprite would change to face the new direction but keep moving in the old direction.

Fantastic :) It would be nice if you could change the scaling to use nearest neighbour on the players so they don't look all smooged,
The modern way to implement this is with , which lets you do that sort of thing pretty easily-- and is more performant to render.
