a small world created with HTML5 <canvas>, node.js, and socket.io

"thegrid" was a quick project which was created to test HTML5's <canvas>, node.js, and socket.io.

As it stands, socket.io is configured to only work with the "websocket" transport, because any other method of transport is too slow for this kind of webapp.


To get started simply install the dependencies, 
  
    npm install

change the hosts,

    grid.html, line 70
    grid-client.js, line 9

and start the server

    node grid-server.js


Then open `grid.html` in various browser windows.
