Summary

At CouchConf SF, an experimental social game app called Pop-it was showcased, which utilizes Couchbase Server 2.0 (Beta) and demonstrates the integration of HTML5 with a C#.Net game server for a balloon-popping game. The application employs a Microsoft Kinect Sensor and stores player scores using a timestamp key in Couchbase via a StoreJSON client method. The game’s C# application can query and sort player scores to display a leaderboard of the top ten players by using a descending modifier in the map function and view queries. The engaging and interactive nature of the game, combined with its technical backend framework, highlights the capabilities of modern database and server technologies in supporting real-time gaming experiences.
