#Massively Multiplayer Online Pokemon Card Game on NodeJS/WebSockets/CouchDB
Web applications have evolved by utilizing push technologies. If you're building anything where users need to interact with other users to create a competitive environment, this queue system is just for you. The importance of queue'ing systems is to help users find other players to play with. Here's some basic code to get you set up, the rest is up to your imagination.
Hopefully, this proof of concept will inspire other developers who want to shape the open Web into a more engaging experience (easy to build real-time web applications) on top of a broad subset of consumer technologies (iPad, iPhone, Droids, Nokias, Samsung Galaxy, Chrome, Safari, Firefox, IE, etc).
- World of Warcraft Battleground/Arena queues (finds opponants based on match-making rating)
- Starcraft 2 game finder (finds players within certain leagues to fight against)
- Warcraft 3 game finder (finds players within certain ratings based off of ELO rating system)
- Chess Riot
- WordSquared -- MMO Scrabble. So, freaking, awesome and inspiring.
- NodeJS
- WebSockets (iPad, iPhone, Chrome, Safari)
- Fallbacks for non-webkit browsers
- Adobe Flash Socket
- ActiveX HTMLFile (IE)
- XHR with multipart encoding
- XHR with long-polling
- JSONP polling (for cross-domain)
###Frontend
- SASS with SCSS, OOCSS
- HTML5 Boilerplate
- CSS3 for drop shadows, transparencies, rounded corners, and animations (card flipping)!
- Blast Mojo Framework -- Javascript MVC
- npm install express
- npm install ejs (possibly swapping this out for YUI as a more comfortable templating engine)
- npm install socket.io (must be a fixed version of it of 0.5.3 from github, not npm -- pst me for help with this)
- npm install supervisor
