Exactly what you wanted: http://realitymachine.net/asteroids.html

I hacked together a very (very) basic multiplayer with a paper-thin node.js server in coffeescript.

Yes, really: http://github.com/cushman/asteroids.js

It might deserve a newspost of its own, but I'd like to have a working server running so people can actually, you know, use it. Unfortunately, I haven't thought to get node running on my VPS before now, and it's almost 02:00 here...

So who is up for a shootout on HN? Or were do the asteroiders hang out?

Maybe something like Twitter, where new stuff to shoot appears on a constant basis?

Awesome. Good work!

It'd definitely put a new bent on up or down voting comments. I'm using it to blow away the comments.
