I'm really excited about html5 & javascript for game development. My current game and learning project is "Last Man Standing: A Zombie Apocalypse" http://dl.dropbox.com/u/165110/lastmanstanding/index.html Accelerometerated (iOS 4.2+)

To minimise page size I pack the javascript for my html5 game - Last Man Standing: A Zombie Apocalypse - into a png and load it using canvas and eval. It packs my 51KB minified source into an 18KB image file. Works a charm :)

In my first year of a programming certificate (1993?) I wrote several really bad games (in Pascal) that only my best friend and brother played. The whole HTML5 game thing got me excited enough to try again and "Last Man Standing: A Zombie A

Think of it a little differently. Live in the now. You are currently witnessing a time that some of those before you wished they could live to see. How exciting! :)

Very interesting. A while ago I read about a belt that enabled the wearer to know true north and was very interested in trying to develop something similar (maybe the size of a watch). This implanting sounds kind of cool (in a cyber punk s

Well, the title used "Seven Deadly Sins". I'm not sure that using "The Seven Great Rational Evolutionary Strategies" has the same ring to it - although, the more I think about it, the more I like it.

Slightly off-topic, but my ultimate device is something like a smart phone that can dock into different "stations" (think desktop, laptop, tablet) and utilise that stations peripherals (screen, mouse, keyboard, etc). Ignoring the fantasy ha

Marketing Genius Does it Again? Not to be inflammatory, but that seems a bit over the top.

Shameful self-plug :) I would like to think Last Man Standing was excellent :) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/165110/lastmanstanding/index.html

Ok, I've replaced the database with localStorage and it's all good to go - at least in FF 3.6.8, although it seems to be washing out the font colors. Thanks for the suggestion.

That's awesome. Thanks for the lead. I'll try and implement that tonight :)

Correct. You'll need Safari or Chrome to play. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_SQL_Database Web SQL Database is supported by Google Chrome, Opera and Safari but will not be implemented by Mozilla(Firefox) which instead advocates Indexed

1) My initial game was arrows keys and mouse to shoot which didn't translate into touch. That's the best I've got at the moment that allows movement and throwing grenades. Ideas would be appreciated. 2) I place a light grey outer circle aro

Yeah, they're based on L4D specials, so you have boomers, smokers, and tanks.

A couple of weeks ago I showed you guys a web game I wrote for the 10k contest. I wrote that in about 7 hours and hadn't intended to submit anything until the last minute which is why it was so rough. It's been 18 days since then, and this

This is my first game inspired by the http://10k.aneventapart.com/ contest. I submitted an earlier version to them an hour or so before contest close, but this version is a little tighter.

Not sure why you've put "reduce" in the title. It's an excerpt of an article about Robert Sapolsky and stress entitled "stress", and mentions nothing about reducing it, other than it's bad for a number of reason - and hence you probably sho

Much better title. The first came across as attention seeking. This title invites us to discuss your idea/site, not your stroke ego :)

Sites like this make me very angry. My first instinct would be to see how the site handles large numbers. The best outcome would be for both (fake) participants to continuing bidding until the values wrapped and they both end up having to p

It's amazing to think of what we do that's governed by society/advertising. I began my own experiment over 3 years ago, where I stopped using shampoo to wash my hair, and instead, wash it every day, but only using water. I've found that my

Thanks for the comment. Although I think there's good reason for declaring variables in the narrowest possible scope, I'm not sure it's enough of a reason to bring it up - especially if it's more about coding style, rather than best practic

What a horrible keyboard! I've only recently been looking for a new keyboard for home because on my current (Microsoft Media Desktop 1000) all the function keys are tiny and packed together with no grouping (F1-F4 F5-F8 F9-F12). Coding is s
