I've entered Epic's June 2016 game jam with a cloud enabled javascript based game. Something I've always wanted to try out. I think it kind of works and you can get an idea of how a javascript based game might work. It is pretty rough around the edges, but I feel good enough for as PoC for anyone interested in doing such a thing.
Some thoughts: a) What debugging capabilities do you need to provide? b) Training? c) Maybe use a graphical language like MIT's Scratch, however, depth might be sacrificed. d) What happens if the player does something not expected like spawn a million tanks? e) Will scripting be a major part of the game? f) Script safety? (intentionally all file operations were removed). g) Can user generated content create profanities or spread hate? h) Will it muck with the classification rating? i) What happens if the script hangs?
