2/10 When I was 18 (2003/2004 ish), at my university, lot of my colleagues were playing to browser games, so I said "I can do a better browser game" (I was just a little tiny bit cocky) I loved table strategy games like Risk so I decided to create a browser MMORPG called WarWidepic.twitter.com/w32jsUzpCk
3/10 It was actually a really complex game. * set on a real world map * gamers could pick any real city in the world (I used a db of cities with their coords) to establish their headquarters * they could build factories, an army with many different weapons (tanks, ships, ...) ...
4/10 * gamers could move their armies by land (tanks, soliders, ...) or by sea (ships, ...) and conquer other cities * army movement on earth or by sea was calculated at actual travel pace (100 km/h) so it could take days to reach a target citypic.twitter.com/44IGHrLO4z
5/10 * gamers could create alliances to help defending a bigger territory Technically it was quite challenging. For the base game UI I used https://openlayers.org/ + openstreetmap + jQuery. Backend was mainly PHP + MySQL + C (for the location service)
6/10 I had to build a really complex in-memory data structure (entire earth boundaries) in order to calculate where tanks/ships could move (land vs sea). High-performance calculation and movement prediction had to be perfect in order to offer a smooth experience.
7/10 Lot of gamers started to use it and contributed with great ideas to increase strategies complexity, in-game weapons, ... I had a lot of fun.

After a year or so I started working on another really amazing project and decided to sell warwide to a sexy shop owner that loved the game 
The website is still there https://www.warwide.com/ but not sure if the game is still active.pic.twitter.com/rTcUkknjj3
