What is it?

A HTML5 Bomberman clone using:

• node.js
• socket.io
• Backbone + Underscore
• jQuery
• CSS3 (via Compass + Sass)

Why?

It started as a small project to help me learn the fore mentioned technologies, but in the end it turned out to be loads of fun.

I'm not proud of the code, like I said, it was just a sandbox to try things, but I believe it could be a starting point for others trying to use the above mentioned technologies.

If you've spotted something that stinks really bad, please, drop me a patch on how to do it better! I'm sure I've misunderstood some basic concepts, but hey, at least something is working. ;)

Getting started

1. Download the node.js dependencies:

    npm update
   

2. Download and install compass.

    gem update --system
    gem install compass
   

3. Compile sass to css

    compass compile web/
   

4. Start the node server.

    node dev-server.js
   

5. Open a browser to localhost:8000 and enjoy!
