Multiplayer game to demo Wi-fi

Question

Hi guys I need an idea.

So in Germany we have built up a huge Wi-fi system and usually you have to login to the system to surf the web. As a gimik we want to add a multiplayer game so without having to pay for usual internet they can play a webbased multiplayer game. What multiplayer games do you know. It just has to be 2 player really. I would want to program it with JavaScript since I am uncapable of doing Flash.

Any good ideas? Maybe even a finished game I could use?

I would want it to be an instant game so no browser game where you would have to check back every 5 hours or so.

Answer 1

How about something like Tanks ? Or maybe something along the lines of BattleShip ?

Of if maybe you don't want an action game, how about trying a Card Game like Poker?

Take a look at this page which is dedicated specifically to JavaScript Game Development, and also here in where they list 25 JavaScript games

And I also suggest you take a look at Canvas Element to implement a smooth-graphics, JavaScript-controlled game.

Answer 2

I don't have any specific games to add to Dreas Grech's suggestions, but I would recommend that you choose a game with a relatively simple (but not too simple, of course) set of player strategies so that you'll be able to also implement an AI/bot to play against any users who aren't able to find human opponents.
