UPDATE: Holy cow, they fixed the docs! Sooo, I don’t know if it was directly related to this rant, but the quick-start docs now rock! So go forth and ClojureScript! So you’ve decided to do your next pet-project in ClojureScript because Rich Hickey is awesome and the Web is awesome, therefore, Clojure on the Web […]
And now for something completely different… a full implementation of a CHIP-8 interpreter, complete with “sound” (via the Web Audio API). But why? Well, it all started when I fell over a link to an article about Another World, and ended many hours later with the complete (as I can be bothered making it) CHIMP-8 […]
Here’s my talk “Gonzo Game Dev” from 2014’s Nodevember conference. There were a few great games talks at the conference – most showing you how to make games properly. Mine focused on just gettin’ done! Also got all preachy about games as art. You should watch it:
So, you’ve decided to take part in your very first ever Ludum Dare… congratulations! I’m assuming you don’t know what you’ve got yourself in for, so just remember: your primary objective is to finish something that (even vaguely) resembles a game.

Creating a new programming language is the absolute surest way to invite a hurricane of internet pain from coders worried they’ve bet on the wrong horse. Generally they’ll try to shout at the horse until it dies – mostly with nasty tweets. Yet somehow Apple […]

It was my attempt at an 80s 8bit english-humour style farce in the style of Jet-Set Willy or Hover Bovver. However, due to hang-over-ness and appartment hunting, the wackiness meter never […]
A couple of recent tracks for ma games: Oscillator & Mister Moonboots. Excuse the abrupt halt to Mister Moonboots… he’s supposed to loop oop oop.
One week ago I would have sworn that Flappy Bird was a case of beautiful dumb luck: some guy threw a bunch of out-of-the-box elements on a screen, and accidentally created a world-wide phenomenon. But after subjecting it to scrupulous analysis during the process of “accurately” cloning it, I discovered so many fundamentally important details […]
