Ooh wow. I feel stupid for not at least seeing what the AI page was about, haha. That's awesome.
I tried using the default AI, and since nobody else was connected I picked "Play vs AI". Apparently the bots also use the same AI... and so they all proceeded to engage in a hilarious (and cute) sped-up standoff dance with each other.
And regarding making my own bot, I originally did mean that to mean figuring out/reverse engineering the world state, etc. This is absolutely trivial because this is computed by the clients so there's no server to headscratch about. But the AI system you're using is several levels cooler.
The only suggestion I'd make is to include a socket.io+etc bootstrap that lets people run bots using Node. A rainy-day project might be a login system that lets people tie bot instances to specific rooms...
I had no idea you'd poked the various browsers. Sorry about joining in the flamewar on that, heh. I (honestly) wonder why FF is so much worse than Chrome :/ I wonder if everyone who had issues was using it on Linux.

This is fun, btw. Thanks for building it. :P
