mk.js

This is simple fighting game created with HTML5 canvas and JavaScript. It has three game modes:

• Basic - with one active and on inactive player.
• Multiplayer - with two active players on one computer.
• Network - with two active players, playing over the network.

Each mode can be easily chosen by picking a gameType when specifying the game options.

The multiplayer mode can be tested here.

The Network mode with Web RTC Data Channel Demo here.

For the network game you need to install the server:

git clone git@github.com:mgechev/mk.js
cd mk.js/server
npm install
node server.js

The server will be started on port 55555. Open your browser and go to http://localhost:55555. Both players must enter the same game name to play together.
