You can also play it as a single-player game should you. Using universal pixelated graphics, it features an open world with several areas the main objective is to defeat the Skeleton King.
Yet another example of why Flash is becoming increasingly irrelevant and unnecessary in today’s web environment. BrowserQuest is a multiplayer game inviting you to explore a world of adventure from your device. BrowserQuest is a 2012 free experimental browser-based MMORPG, developed by Little Workshop for the Mozilla Foundation as a demonstration of HTML5 and WebSockets technology during its initial launch. The final element in BrowserQuest’s HTML5 puzzle is localStorage, which saves your progress as you move through the game. WebSockets - which are back, after being rewritten to fix some early flaws - handle the chat feature, which allows players to communicate within BrowserQuest. As you would expect BrowserQuest uses the HTML5 Canvas element to actually render its 16-bit-style world and hooks into the HTML5 audio APIs for sound effects.īrowserQuest is responsive as well, using queries to adapt to the size of your screen. WebMonkey gives a brief overview of the technology used to create the game: BrowserQuest’s backend, which handles the real-time multiplayer aspect of the game, is written in JavaScript and runs on Node.js. Developed by Mozilla, BrowserQuest is not only a nostalgic throwback to the likes of The Legend of Zelda, it’s also a showcase for what you can do without Flash.
Web-based video games are nothing new, but from a web development perspective, there is something unique about BrowserQuest.
