shooter.io is a network based multiplayer space shooter game.

The shooter-server is a Go program that runs a universe for space ships that can shoot and destroy each other.

It also accepts incoming websockets connections, assigns each connection its own ship, and lets the user control her ship.

The shooter-html5 repo is a HTML5 client that uses canvas, javascript and Websockets to render the game with instructions that arrive from the server.

cd ~/projects
git clone https://github.com/xiam/shooter-vagrant.git
vagrant up
# Go grab some coffee.

Open 10.2.2.10 in your browser!

See shooter-vagrant.

cd ~/projects
git clone https://github.com/xiam/shooter-server.git
cd shooter-server
make
cd src
go get -d
make
MONGO_HOST="10.0.0.123" ./shooter-server -listen 127.0.0.1:3223

Now you have a running shooter-server that creates a virtual universe for space ships, see shooter-html5 for a client to interact with this universe.

Note that, in order to connect to the shooter-server, you may change a variable within the shooter-html5/src/js/main.js file. For instance, this line

var WEBSOCKET_SERVICE = 'ws://127.0.0.1:3223/w/';

will instruct the client to connect to the shooter-server that is listening on 127.0.0.1:3223.

• This a work in progress.
• Code is still messy and undocumented.
• I'd like to create a native client for mobile too.
• I'd like to experiment with UDP messages instead of TCP websockets.
• Server has been tested with go1.2 under Linux and OSX.
