About the Hack

World of Fourcraft is an adventure of Social Conquest.

The object of the game is to join forces with your Borough Buddies and conquer New York City.

There are no prizes. There are no celebrations. The only reward is the feeling of pride you normally only get from being re-tweeted.

How do you play?

Login into World of Fourcraft
Swear your allegiance to your favorite Borough
Incessantly check in on Foursquare, as you are want to do
Visit the Battle Map to get the latest news on The Social Wars.

About the Hack

Ever wanted to shoot your friend in the face from the comfort of your Webcam powered laptop….well now you can!

Video

Your Face Demo

What APIs, tools or kit did you use?

We used OpenTok’s live Video Stream api to show the two players’ webcam feed. Built from scratch (from the ground up), this app was build as a NodeJS server using a Faye pub/sub server. All client side animations were done using just javascript and CSS. All Javascript (both client and server side) was written and compiled with Coffeescript.

How to use

Download this repo
In the terminal type “node js/DemoHelloWorld/server.js”
Browse to “/DemoHelloWorld.html”

RealtimeMultiplayerNodeJS comes with 3 demos

DemoHelloWorld

The most basic interesting working demo I could come up with. Objects move from left to right

DemoCircle

A demonstration of the engine’s simple CircleCollision engine, which can provide you with simple collision information and fires an event when two objects collide with the two objects.
This demo also shows one implementation of having a special kind of entity which is controlled by the keyboard from a connected user. A character controlled entity

DemoBox2D

This demo uses a Box2D.js implementation to create a world, and show’s off the idea of synchronized physics, and taking advantage that all the simulation happens on the server.
It also shows synchronized interaction between multiple users, and an example of sending a message to the server which it interprets back into the game
