dotproduct (HTML5 Online Multiplayer) - First game event

[L.C.]

dotproduct is an HTML5 online multiplayer asteroids-like space shooter that my friend at Google, I, and another team member are developing. Presently, it is only available to play through Facebook authentication at http://dev.nanavati.net:8000/.

The first official game event will begin at 5PM -6GMT (Central Time / Chicago), or about 30 minutes from time of posting. I invite you to come and give this game a whirl. =) You need either Chrome, Firefox, Waterfox, or Safari (or a browser that can handle HTML5 and websockets). At this time, dotproduct is most optimized for Chrome, but will work fine in Firefox.

Controls reference:


ENTER to initiate chat.
Numbers 1-4 to change ship.
Greens give you upgrades and rewards.
Firing bullets and bombs uses energy, so when you fire weapons shields go down. Your energy bar is at the top of the screen.

firstly i must say that though I think it's pretty cool if you can play it in a html5 version

sir i find your minimalist desktop and your Microsoft background offensive

but thats an aside


you can expect stupid criticism on this old internet


but then again I dont have a facebook account nor am I going to get one so i'm a bit perplexed about the fact you need one to play a browser based version of SS

I do think there is legality’s that were never fully addressed in letting the game go community based from the original developers that were left with, they still own it and we can fuck around with it but not for out and out profit. But then again that might have changed or never been around in the first place. I'm no authority on that :P

I do not have a Facebook shitmathinger. How are you, your friend at Google, and another guy working for me to bring this amazing dotproduct to the shitmathingerless masses such as myself?
