"How the fack?" was my first reaction..Because this is so awesome! Revives old memories, yet also seems really fun (especially when you try to bomb others)!! A few questions: 1) What backend technology do they use for real-time and concurrency? Node.js?? Scala?? 2) How does one update the players' real time positions/actions?? If someone could shed some light on these questions, it would be so freakin awesome!!
1) They're using HaProxy + probably NodeJs ( i'm 99% sure )
Definitely the best browser multiplayer game ever. And nice to see that it's build on Node (among other tech).
Anyone got any background on the backend tech involved?
Answering my own question but: >Thanks :) Follow us @bombermine — we have plans to write an article about how game works. In few words: java, jetty, gwt, javascript, node.js, html5 [1] [1] http://www.reddit.com/r/WebGames/comments/199urs/bombermine_...
I upvoted this because it is awesome, and it is, well... Bomberman. But I'm genuinely curious: at what point will we stop being fascinated by what can be done in HTML5, and actually start focusing more on what is actually being done -- regardless of the technology used. Or to put it another way: when will HTML5 games stop feeling like HTML5 games? For example, if this were on a console, I think it would still be cool…
The most impressive html5 game I've played so far with nice graphics, music, and most importantly pretty responsive feedback is 'Save the day' : https://turbulenz.com/games/save-the-day/play The first time I played it, I had assumed it was a Flash game, and not html5, based on the quality of it.

Web Apps set us back 20 years in pretty much every respect except ease of deployment (1992 - people are impressed that Wolfenstein 3D gets 60FPS on a 100MHz Pentium; 2012 - people are impressed that Wolfenstein 3D (in Javascript!!!!111omg) gets 15FPS without sound on an 8-core 3GHz box). With the exponential rate of development I doubt it'll take a full 20 years to catch up, but it'll still be a while before we've co…
