Is it possible to create a socket based multi-player game client using html5?
Does html5 allow socket programming?
HTML5 allows a limited bi-directional communication with server via the WebSocket object. It may allow you to write games what use simple networking but it does not allow raw access to underlying network. So the answer to your questions is:
Yes, but this depends on the complexity of the game and you will have to proxy all messages via the server.
No it does not allow socket programming as, say, as a programing platform such as Java does.
