Meh

As well as tidying us the CSS I've added a bit of DHTML to the site so I can open myself to the use of Javascript libraries. They're tough to get into but Scriptaculous is a good one for absolute beginners and Mootools and JQuery seem the route for the more hardcore shennanigans.

GotoAndPlay.it have been kind enough to publish a copy of
Super Special Lightning Man and give it a warm initial review, which is pretty cool considering there's room to develop Lightning Man Gold Edition (single player, more power-ups, the ability to pause the game, etc.).

Moving Swiftly On...

Super Special Lightning Man is here and is for 2 to 4 players. So without further ado, I'm going to work on something else. I'm thinking beat-detection. I'd like to do another project that has a nice even split between coding and drawing but is a bit more accessible (I could plow more time into the game, or I could finally make a VJ toy - not really a tough choice). I've started a thread for Beat Detection resources. If you have anything to add, please do. It will help the young-uns in years to come.

The astute will notice I've added a search bar to my Blog. I basically copied the GET request from Blogger's tool bar and built up the hidden input tags. It should be easier to find stuff in my mountain of links now.

This month's links include some old favourites I found lying around in IE6's favourites folder.
