#2Nice. How do you get the diamonds out that are stuck in the rocks if your only controls are the arrow keys?
Re: Show HN: A simple multiplayer game with Python and Socket.io
#3Nice looking game... but, I can jump and move about with the arrow keys, but pass straight through diamonds (floating in the air), and can't drill through the rock. I tried other keys on the keyboard, but nothing happens. How should I be playing?
Re: Show HN: A simple multiplayer game with Python and Socket.io
#4Some issues:
1. You should add code to keep diamonds from spawning in rocks. It'd be simple to implement: Check if the diamond spawn location is rock, and if it is, don't spawn it.
2. Don't use a dialog for user name entry; use a form or something instead. In my browser (Chromium on Linux Mint), the dialog locks the entire browser window until I type in a name, even if I don't want to play -- maybe I just want to click on About to see more about you.
3. Is this open-source? It's probably way too simple to be commercially viable, but it'd be instructive for learning socket.io to look at the source; you should put it on Github or something.
4. Just checked the site again; it's down. The front page of HN will do that. Maybe you could throw some screenshots up on a static http server or Amazon S3 if you the ingredients handy, so people have something to look at.

#6Is this running on Flask? Could be why it went down. I'm interested to see if the source code is available- I'm currently working on a python game for school and wanted to checkout the multiplayer code.

Are you just saying you don't like Flask, or is there some sort of specific problem you're referencing?

I'm a fan of Flask- I was just curious if it was a Django or Flask app running as a process and not setup with nginx/apache + wsgi. The port 8080 is what made me ask.

#9Looks really cool. Well done guys.
Also the guys at pyramid labs do some awesome web design work. I have been giving project to Rahul for a number of years (before they started pyramid labs) and he has never let me down.

Not working for me, either. But I see people upvoting the link, indicating they are able to access it.
