I don't mean to necro, but you can have a serverless option over the internet using something like http://www.firebase.com . I put together a sample "game" using Crafty.js, firebase, and art from Reiner's tilesets. I'm hosting the content (html, javsascript,images) on github pages and fire...

If you like Azure and want to try it out, there are ways to get it free for a year plus some stuff: https://www.microsoft.com/bizspark/SignUp/default.aspx Checkout the bizspark, webspark, etc. From what I can tell they are trying to rope people/startups to using azure. Depending on what you want, go...

I'm pretty sure they have VPS also, but if they have node.js hosting as a PaaS and support websockets, a VPS wouldn't be needed. I was not a believer in Platforms as a Service until I started using them recently. I've been using Heroku for a rails app and MongoLabs for my database, and it's been awe...

Did you look at Azure? I believe they support websockets. It seems to be easy to get a server for free for a long time. I forget whether or not they have a straight up free tier.

Those are impressive stats, Halls. Who do you use for hosting? Have you ever considered adding ads to the site? With that amount of traffic, I'd think you would be able to at least make the site revenue neutral, if not profitable. Also, sorry to derail the topic, but there was mention of networking ...

In the first example, each index of b is referring to the same reference so any change to that reference will be reflected at each index of b. If you created a in the for loop, you'd have 3 separate arrays : for(var i = 0; i < 3; i++){ var a = [0,0,0]; b.push(a); //alternatively: b.push([0,0,0]) } I...

That was a few days ago when I downloaded it. Now it goes to the github page which is much more informative than the rest of the site for the prototype version.

I haven't looked closely at a lot of game engines, but the license says they charge a 2% royalty fee. Is that normal?

@Jackolantern

Thanks for pointing that out. The main page of their site was misleading when that "Free Version Download" button was just a download of a zip file instead of a link to github. Do you plan on checking it out?

I just saw that yesterday. I downloaded it but haven't looked at it yet. I couldn't find any details on what the "Free" version from the main page, but the github page has more information, so anyone looking at this should start there. I'd be very interested to read about anyone's experien...

Here you go, proof for your boasts.
