BLUE VERTIGO (Resources) The Reality of HTML5 Game Development and making money from it The Reality of HTML5 Game Development and making money from it Note: This was written near the end of January 2012 and as such reflects the state of the technology and markets at the time. Everything is moving so fast a lot of the information below is subject to change, so bear that in mind. HTML5 game development and indeed the abilities of web browsers are in state of rapid evolution right now. On the HTML5 Game Devs site that I run I’ve been noticing an increasing pace of new content, game releases, tutorials, business news and technology. High profile and high quality game releases such as the Microsoft sponsored Cut the Rope are making headlines across the world, and engaging the public more than ever before. HTML5 is just a mark-up standard! Relax When I talk about “HTML5″ I’m doing so from the popular media use of the word, rather than the technical one. What is an HTML5 game?

February 2012 This was written seven days after I unsealed my First Edition Vita. It is not a final word on this platform - merely how I feel about it at this moment. The PlayStation Vita promises triple-A, console-quality games on a handheld. That is a boldstatement - but the only question I'm at all concerned with answering - so this review will be rather different from those you've read on other gaming sites. The Vita has a great deal of facets I don't care about and so, won't talk about. I'm not about to discuss most of that. I don't care about anything the Vita does that isn't involved in allowing me to play awesome video games. Well... And this is The If. ...if you, like me, concern yourself first and foremost with playing gorgeous, immersive, high-end and high-production-value video games - and all the other ones, too. Keep in mind - I actually have to downgrade these screenshots in order to fit them on the blog. Technical wizardry, neh? ...but look at those textures! Bleugh. The math is simple.

A teacher talking to dozens of kids and expecting them to transform those low pitched sound vibrations into interesting concepts in their heads, can you imagine? And learning math in particular is hard for many, including some of my cousins and sons and daughters of people I work with.

The Most Officialest SkiFree Home Page Smithsonian Digitizes & Lets You Download 40,000 Works of Asian and American Art Art lovers who visit my hometown of Washington, DC have an almost embarrassing wealth of opportunities to view art collections classical, Baroque, Renaissance, modern, postmodern, and otherwise through the Smithsonian’s network of museums. From the East and West Wings of the National Gallery, to the Hirshhorn, with its wondrous sculpture garden, to the American Art Museum and Renwick Gallery---I’ll admit, it can be a little overwhelming, and far too much to take in during a weekend jaunt, especially if you’ve got restless family in tow. (One can’t, after all, miss the Natural History or Air and Space Museums… or, you know… those monuments.) In all the bustle of a DC vacation, however, one collection tends to get overlooked, and it is one of my personal favorites—the Freer and Sackler Galleries, which house the Smithsonian’s unique collection of Asian art, including the James McNeill Whistler-decorated Peacock Room. via Kottke Related Content:

Follow along with this tutorial and you'll be on your way in no time. The tutorial assumes at least an intermediate level of knowledge of JavaScript. You can first play the game or jump directly to the article and view the source code for the game. Creating the canvas In order to draw things, we'll need to create a canvas. var CANVAS_WIDTH = 480;var CANVAS_HEIGHT = 320; var canvasElement = $("<canvas width='" + CANVAS_WIDTH + "' height='" + CANVAS_HEIGHT + "'></canvas>");var canvas = canvasElement.get(0).getContext("2d"); canvasElement.appendTo('body'); Game loop In order to simulate the appearance of smooth and continuous gameplay, we want to update the game and redraw the screen just faster than the human mind and eye can perceive. var FPS = 30; setInterval(function() { update(); draw();}, 1000/FPS); For now we can leave the update and draw methods blank. function update() { ... }function draw() { ... } Hello world Player movement
