I'm currently working on a multi player game, when I have time. The backend in Clojure, the frontend in Javascript (as in a HTML browser based UI). So far it has been a really fun project and a great learning experience.
All communication is over web sockets (using http-kit). I send events (which have a type key) as JSON between clients and server. I use `case` to run a event handler function based on the type key of the event. I intend to change this to use a multimethod instead. I'm storing state in atoms (but I'm going to switch to agents as they are async). The first game is "tag", any number of players can join a game and one is "it", they need to "tag" someone else and they become "it". The UI is using HTML div and CSS absolute positioning to move the players. The idea being I will switch to using canvas once working and then something like phaser.js. The idea being switching rendering from DOM to Canvas should only require adding new JS functions. As you can see I'm starting with the simplest possible game.
