Over one weekend, I joined my friends and colleages Helen Zeng and Timothy Strimple in Los Angeles to compete in the infamous Node Knockout hackathon. We built a tiny HTML5/Canvas shooter with Melon.js that has multiplayer powered by Node.js and Socket.io. We used a bunch of Creative Commons-licensed art and coded our way to a quick, easy and fun shooter for Node Knockout 2013\. You can check out our quick pitch video (which also shows the game).

We released a version that has been cleaned up for people who'd like to get a jumpstart on building a similar game. Feel free to use it to build your own game, but please understand that we used art found online, so please respect their individiual licenses. I spent some time to comment most of the code, so it should be pretty easy for people to understand what we've done there. You can find [the package on GitHub](http://felixrieseberg.github.io/Node-Mayhem?ref=felixrieseberg.com).
