It is a new game much like Minecraft, but with more Deathmatch. Made it in my freetime. Arenas, built by players, can be shared on Twitter/Facebook/etc. and are ranked by how often they are played. You can play it in your browser at: http://julius-eckert.com/game (On OSX only Safari works...) Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDBr8ZD9Uto Do you like it?

In plain words

This browser-based game combines Minecraft-style building with deathmatch gameplay. Players construct arenas that can be shared on social media and ranked by popularity. The game emphasizes player-created content and competitive combat within customizable environments. It runs in web browsers, though compatibility is limited to Safari on macOS.

    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).
