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. It doesn’t have to be good, it just has to be. Here are a […]

Metal Meter Madness
Ludum Dare 29 delivered us the theme “Beneath the Surface”, and I, in turn, delivered my first Ludum Dare novelty offering: Metal Meter Madness. 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 […]
Write the theme tune, sing the theme tune
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.

DHTML Lemmings: an awesome hack
That image is the punchline to the question I awoke with in the middle of last night: “How the FLIPPIN’ ‘ECK did that guy do destructible terrain for DHTML Lemmings… in 2004?!!!”. I lay there for some time as thoughts raced through my mind: There was no canvas element in 2004. No WebGL. In fact, […]
