Haha - thanks, that's kind, but whilst it might sound bad ass what it actually means is I spend as much time performance optimising game loading so people don't

Haha - thanks, that's kind, but whilst it might sound bad ass what it actually means is I spend as much time performance optimising game loading so people don't click off the page before they've had a chance to play, or doing SEO [1], as I do writing the games (which is by far the most fun bit). No disclaimer needed either: I really enjoyed the Bear Essentials post, so thanks for sharing. I found the comment about pixel perfect movement particularly resonated with me. I find most web games, and particularly Flash games (I used HTML/JS/CSS), fail quite badly in this sense, with characters/sprites often feeling quite detached from the backgrounds they're running or flying over. [1] If I didn't do these rather soul sucking tasks nobody would ever play the games, so whilst they're kind of a drag, this does keep my motivation to do them reasonably high.
