Hi Sander,

As a side project, we're also prototyping a multiplayer game.
It is not a turn-based one, however. Think of it as a multiplayer =
graphic adventure game.

One funny thing about this game is that game rules are data rather than =
programs. And it's amazing how you can code such a game server with =
CouchDB and just a few lines of code.

Here is a paper presenting how we use CouchDB for this:

PTM_2011.pdf
It's in french but there are a lot of pictures ;)

On GitHub, there is also a partial implementation of what is described =
in the paper (except the update handler for using game rules):
    https://github.com/benel/SOS21Server

At this time, we're trying to implement the game (lightweight) client =
with MelonJS.
