VNC with JavaScript was waiting for some sugar

on YouTube ↗22m

" summary

A JavaScript VNC viewer and a Node-based VNC server implement the RFB protocol and use VNC over WebSocket to stream a pixel array. The code exposes a node screen module giving a raw frame buffer (example: framebuffer 800x600) and a refresh loop adjusted to refresh 10–25Hz. Demoed features: native VNC and browser clients connect, node-canvas writes pixels, keyboard and pointer events arrive, a simple multiplayer rectangle game runs in real time, and the project is released on GitHub.
