Domanion!

Click to play! (2-player online, may not be running if I don't have the server active)
Click for basic rules

I gave myself a challenge to make an online web game in 3 days and because I haven't really done this before I thought I'd remake an existing game. I used Phaser for the graphics and a friend helped me get started with websockets for the networking.

Javascript is hell and I think I'll experiment with languages that compile into it next time. That or just code through the pain. Phaser was alright to use and once I get websockets working it was all plain sailing from there.

There used to be a great web version of dominion here but it eventually got taken down for a big annoying one with music. I thought I'd try remaking the old simple one. I called it "domanion" as a superb defence against DMCA but don't tell DXV anyway!

edit: turns out I am not a good server admin and I got hacked (maybe?) game is down for now.
