Example of Facebook game with HTML5 client and NodeJS server

Economy game

Example of a Facebook game built with HTML client + NodeJS server + MongoDB persistance

Still very early Work In Progress.

You can try it locally even without a mongodb, just by running 'node app.js' to start the server then going to http://apps.facebook.com/239838146090075/ on Facebook without secure browsing. That app's canvas is configured to load from http://localhost:3000/, or https://localhost:3443/ for SSL
