Wow. What are the odds! I just presented a game based on the exact same premise a couple of nights ago at a backbone.js meetup in SF. I wonder if the author of this one saw me...
Fight Code is very much like my Robo Duel game, but much more polished and it looks the robots in it are programmed in JS, whereas I wrote a domain specific language (along with an interpreter) for mine.
Great job, guys. It's awesome to see a game like this. In fact I've wanted a game like this for years!
But it's hard not to wish it had come out a few weeks later after I graduated from Hack Reactor and had a chance to use my game to boost my job interviewing process!
