You certainly know [bomberman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bomberman) right? Good good. You will make it. Relax, is not that hard, it is only a multiplayer version of it. Ah and forgot to mention that you will need to do it using the framework you created a while ago. Let me explain.
In the beginning there was 4 players, and only one came out alive. Each player will have to start in the different corners of the map and only one will be victorious.
You will have to follow more a less the same principles has the [make-your-game](../make-your-game/README.md) project. But we will refresh one of the concepts you will have to respect and deal with:
You must not use canvas, neither [Web-GL](https://get.webgl.org/) nor another framework. For this project you will use the framework you did on the [mini-framework](../mini-framework/) project.
You will also have to make a chat that enables the different players to talk to each other. You will have to use [WebSockets](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebSockets_API). This chat **can be considered as a "Hello World" of the multiplayer feature** for the **bomberman-dom**.
1. The walls will always be placed in the same place, while the blocks are meant to be generated randomly on the map. Tip: the optional project [different maps](../make-your-game/different-maps/README.md) can be useful for this part.
2. In the starting positions the players need to be able to survive. For example: if the players place a bomb, they will need to have space to avoid the bomb explosion.
3. The players should be placed in the corners as their starting positions.
When the user opens the game, he/she should be presented to a page where he/she should enter a **nickname** to differentiate users. After selecting a nickname the user should be presented to a waiting page with a **player counter** that ends at 4. Once a user joins, the player counter will increment by 1.
If there are more than 2 players in the counter and it does not reach 4 players before 20 seconds, a 10 second timer starts, to players get ready to start the game.\
If there are 4 players in the counter before 20 seconds, the 10 seconds timer starts and the game starts.
Although this bomberman already is super cool, it can be always better. Here are some ideas you can implement into the game to make it super awesomely cool:
- **Solo + Co-Op mode**: You are supposed to develop an AI to play against the players. So once the AI is defeated all players involved win.
- **More power ups**:
- _Bomb Push_: Ability to throw a bomb after it has been placed;
- _Bomb Pass_: Ability to pass through bombs;
- _Block Pass_: Ability to pass through blocks (not walls);
- _Detonator_: Ability to choose when a bomb will explode on a key press;
- _1 Up_: Gives the player an extra life;
- **Release power ups after death**: When a player dies it drops one of it's power ups. If the player had no power ups, it drops a random power up.
- **More than 4 players**: Be able to start a game with more than 4 players
- **Team mode**: Make games with 2v2 or 3v3 (two/three players versus two/three players).
- **After death interaction**: When a player dies, they can reappear as a ghost. If a ghost touches another player they come back to life. If a ghost is caught in a bomb explosion, the player controlling the ghost dies permanently.
