The game isn't working for me. I see a large gray box, and below it is a number and a button. I think the button switches modes or something. I tried it on chrome and firefox with the same results. I'm running Win7 64 bit. The game looks pretty neat though, you don't see many networked games in LD.
The game doesn't work on chrome 36 :/
Not working for me on Chrome, large gray box + button/coordinates below. The idea looked interesting, hope you can get it fixed soon !
The problem is that the server is crashing to often. I can stabilize it by catching more exceptions, but the core problem of crahsing sockets is a problem of python, I fear I can't fix that. Maybe I could restart sockets when they crash, but I'd need to rewrite huge parts of the network stuff.
Too bad, it really looks interesting.
It's a shame I didn't get to play this, as the idea looks good. Hope you have more success next time! :)
Only getting a large gray box in Firefox with the coordinates and button...
Couldn't get it to startup...
Couldn't get it to play, but those screenshots look interesting!
I see a large gray box as well. I guess the server is down. It's unfortunate because I was excited to try this game out. :(
Likewise no server or other reason for grey screen. Consider making server stateless (simple webservice wrapper or something ?) More network overhead but might be more stable.
Yes, as you saw, the server is down, since I can't keep it up. Making it stupid and simple is not an option since a lot of the logic (> 50%) is server side.
I've made a small script that restarts the server. That's far from an ideal solution, but should make the game at least a little bit playable (which is better than a gray screen).
The link to the script is:

Please call (and only call) this script when you need to restart the server.
The buildings I make seem to be massive compared to those around me. not sure whats up, but a cool concept nonetheless!
Cool idea, I'd like to create something like this sometime :D Too bad it's so buggy and there's not much gameplay, but props for trying.
