Most 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.

I have no idea what's going on. I can't tell if that's intentional or if it's broken.

80's were a crazy time
