Hello!
While perusing an amusing article on Ars Technica about Pirate Bay's orbital servers, and MPAA's weaponised Carrier Pigeon anti-satellite defences, I saw this link on the side :

BrowserQuest, which is built with JavaScript and HTML5, is a compelling demonstration of how existing standards can be used to create browser games. It uses the HTML5 Canvas element to render a tile-based 2D world, HTML5 audio APIs to support sound effects, WebSockets to facilitate communication with the backend server, and localStorage to save the player's progress.
Kinky!
