<p><b>New page</b></p><div>A couple more new web based games got on my radar recently.<br />
<br />
* [http://www.nodewar.com/ Nodewar] - Sleak, web-based, Javascript. Feels lean and mean. I like that the gameplay is not your typical "arena" style battle. Replays are very nice looking and HTML5 (a few at [http://www.nodewar.com/ladders nodewar.com/ladders]). This one doesn't seem very active atm, but I really dig it.<br />
* [http://codeandconquer.co/ Code & Conquer] - This one looks really polished and education-oriented. Haven't seen the gameplay yet. Getting a fair amount of attention right now.<br />
<br />
This new breed of fully web-based programming games really seems to be taking shape. I dig it! I hope we get some good ones and it brings tons of people into programming and programming games... It's got to be 100x easier to get people to try a game when all they need is a web browser.<br />
<br />
But I also wonder about the future of desktop app games like Robocode. One thing I love about the Robocode community is that we contribute a lot of code outside of our bots, like RoboResearch, RoboRumble, running web sites and services, etc. It's sort of like console gaming vs computer gaming - computer gaming gives you level editors, mods, the precision of a mouse. We exercise a lot of freedom on the RoboWiki to do whatever we feel like with Robocode.<br />
<br />
Of course you could have games that straddle this line. A fully web-based game that also lets you run your own servers for the hardcore players, or a desktop game with some web features (which is kind of where I'm going with BerryBots).</div>Voidious
