Border
A real-time tug-of-war where every move costs human lives
What it does
Border is a browser game about the human cost of war. Two fictional nations fight over a shared border: populations grow, attacks happen in real time, and every shift of the frontline kills people. There’s no clean victory — the ending shows the cost: demographics, anti-war quotes, and the propaganda that sparked the conflict. It features micro-stories of the fallen and a memorial where you can name one of them. Runs in any modern browser, no install needed.

I've posted this game here before, hopefully a repost is fine as the game has changed quite a bit (improved AI, improved mapeditor, much quicker gameplay, etc). Game is based on JavaScript/Canvas and WebSockets. On the browser side the map is pre-rendered (as a background image), just the mobile units/buildings and animations are dynamically rendered. The lobby server is made in node.js, but the game server is C++ for performance reasons (mainly the pathfinding). I found the C++ WebSocket libraries out there to be too difficult to use so I made my own based on the rfc. Overall I…
