Javascript game: Deamons Of Space

Wednesday, June 3, 2009

Another piece of JavaScript magic from the 2003 archives: I gave it a quick once-over to get it up and running in Firefox… though now it might not work in anything else, but there you go. Like all my creations, the controls are damn hard to get used to – I don’t know what I was thinking.

I was looking through the code for this one – wow! Pretty crazy. Some ollld school techniques in there, mixed with some fairly reasonable JavaScript OO… but the best thing about this one is it’s name: it’s a Leslie Nielsen quote from the awesomely terrible The Creature Wasn’t Nice. “Pressure – The demon of space…” Track it down – you’ll regret you did!

I reckon you knew it was old ’cause the first line of the blog post says “Another piece of JavaScript magic from the 2003 archives”… jeez!

You find yourself in the bowels of the Hompage of Mr Speaker. In a darkened corner sits a trunk containing JavaScript tidbits. Exits are Home and . To the west lies an RSS Feed.

Pinball on YouTube

Friday, May 22, 2009

Lol! You spawn something new everyday. Quite by chance I came across a youtube video about “Hacking windows pinball” which reminded me of an article I wrote yonks ago called, strangely enough, Hacking Windows Pinball. “I wonder if it’s related?” I wondered. It was. It was just a video of the “hidden test” cheat I found. Then, to my surprise, I looked at the related videos… There’s zillions of them!

Some of them take even longer to explain how to type 2 words than I did explaining how to reverse engineer in assembler language. And sooooo much bad music… But it does highlight an important message: If you want your content to be popular, it has to be relevant to the interests of 14-year-olds.

Imagine, just imagine, you discovered the most awesomely best thing in the known universe. And then, on that very same day, in that very same shop, you discovered the equally most awesome thing in the known universe. And THEN, imagine realising that if you combined those two most best things together, that the blinding goodness of mixed elements would multiply together to create a result of such intense and astonishing goodness as to render all other things in the known universe to be pretty crappy in comparison.

Well, I did that.
