Postmortem - in depth technical stuff interested folks!

How To Play:

Use the arrow keys to move around.

Type with the letters to write messages into the map (you'll move in the facing direction unless you hit a wall)

You can push blocks around if they are unobstructed, or burrow behind them if they are - rearrange the world.

The world is shared between all players - make your mark carefully.

Common Issues:

If the game doesn't respond to key presses, try clicking into the game "window" before pressing keys.

If the game doesn't run, you likely either need a better browser (try firefox or chrome for best compatibility), or to enable javascript.

The typing doesn't behave nicely with non-US keyboard layouts (and isn't perfect with them. Sorry about that, the keyboard code i'm using wasn't made for text entry..
