Web MOO is a web based implementation of the famous 90’s game Master of Orion by micro prose.
It is being coded entirely in Javascript, using the HTML5 canvas.
My notes (including requirement, ship setup etc.) are here.
Here are some screenshots of the current progress:

Changed the star field generation from a programmatic approach that generated some random star coordinates and sizes for each sector to an image based approach. The main reason for this was the performance for generating a nebula effect with javascript. A particle system with JS is a no-go (haven’t tried it, just read it and sounds logical). Added the planetary information window with spending adjustment sliders. Also removed the HTML buttons and replaced them with a canvas menu on the top.
