I developed Dominus 8 years ago and it's still being played. https://dominusgame.net/ https://github.com/dan335/dominus

Not possible right now after the game starts.

Planning on having faster ones eventually :D

Yeah good point I'll add it.

Here's how I got RethinkDB working with Meteor. https://medium.com/@danphi/meteor-and-rethinkdb-db8864762139...

Yep, planning on having some quicker games.

Those two turns are correct, they run when a game starts. Disconnects are because of all the people from hackernews.

Yep, I'll add it to the list. Here's a game you can view.

It will look a little broken but should be viewable.

edit: Removed link, tons of people coming from hacker news.

Are people able to export their list? I'm looking for something like this but no way I'm signing up if I'm locked in.

I watched a little video on react. I know slightly more than the nothing I did 10 minutes ago. It sounds like it integrates the js more into the html. Which could be more powerful especially for animation. I don't find Meteor's Blaze lacking though and suggest you give it a try. The react video said that it re-renders the whole ui after every change which sounds bad. Meteor updates only what you change.

I haven't tried react and don't know much about it. You can see the packages used at https://github.com/dan335/dominus/blob/master/.meteor/packag... I've stayed away from using too many additional libraries.

I really like Meteor and would definitely use it again. Performance can be an issue but I think it's manageable. There are a few things lacking because it's new but it sounds like most are coming soon.

It's designed to not take a lot of time to play. Something that you can spend 10 minutes moving your troops around then come back after a few hours.

Send me a chat in the game and I'll rename you.

Thanks for playing and the feedback!! Found a few major bugs. I'm going to fix them all then reset the game in a few weeks.

Thanks, made in Maya.

It's using kadira. I haven't had time to look at it though. I'll try to post a screenshot later.

The ui freezes when it's loading in new hexes from the server. I haven't been able to figure out a way around it.

Trying to figure out how that all happened.

Fixed. :D

I deleted it, logout and back in and it should make you a new one.

I changed it to 5 servos, graph still said cpu was 100%, going to 10 servos. The graph could be lying. Everything should be working now.

Sorry, create another one? I can delete it later, putting out fires at the moment.

Castles are fixed, take about a second to create now. Server is still pegged at 100%, going to try out modulus' multiple servo thing.

Yeah, some things were messed up and the database was rolled back. It will hopefully be faster now.

Fix is going up, should be back up soon.

I'm a huge fan of meteor. I'm curious about the performance of Meteor too. At the moment I think it's creating castles that is bringing the server down, working on a fix for that then I'll see how it runs.

Yep, trying to fix that at the moment.

Ok, thanks for the tip.

I rendered .png files with the 3d program Maya. Then used svg to draw them. Meteor.js handles updating them. Here's an example https://www.meteor.com/blog/2014/02/06/a-reactive-svg-demo
