**[Play](http://assaultwars.com/javascript/websocket/)**

**Instructions**  
w,a,s,d or arrow keys to move  
click to shoot other players  
If you’re idle for too long the game will disconnect you to save bandwidth. (This is hosted on a simple web host).

**Background**  
C++ socket server using Boost.Asio implementing the WebSockets protocol along with a highly efficient binary protocol encoding into UTF-8 (a 7-bit encoding). Simple physics for the player and projectiles. Might appear to be jumpy since no real client-interpolation is implemented.
