IT's an MMO* made with node.js/backbone/three.js/tween.js/underscore/...

... and all the good parts of javascript.

What is it all about?

You are in charge of an evergrowing world in a universe full of evergrowing discs.
But growth comes at a terrible price.

In the advent of your great growth-inducing politics the general disc-populace grows weary of overpopulation and overproduction.
You decide to take the best way forward.
WAR.
War against the unknowingly weak non-blue discs.
Carefully you plan your next aquisitions while balancing your infrastructure spendings with your investitions in green energy and hauntingly large disc-machines of war.



What does work:

Support for up to 51.00000000000002 players
Planets indicate their current production capacity by growing
Planets may revolt (red tint)
Military and a good investition in green technology help to overcome riots.
Attacking
What doesn't work:

There is no chat or ranking.
You cannot transfer your all-killing-war-machines to a friendly planet
If you tab out there is a high chance your browser might die.
Simulation is a bit rough. Hadn't had time to make animations
Same for graphics.
Player starting positions can be compromised from time to time. If you can't grow your disc: reload the page



Thanks for your time. Have a blast!

*at least in a realtivély tiny world it would be a MASSIVELY MULTIPLAYER ONLINE experience. Here it's somewhat of a medium scale multiplayer app.
