Scott Porter is test-driving a new front end for his site, got a cool windowing thing going -- check it out: http://www.javascript-games.org/indexdyn.html

Pretty cool interface... I like some of the games too. There were a couple of pretty massive role playing games, the arcade ones weren't so hot.
I need to try and get that Airwolf game of mine into something that actually works.

Yeah, you're right, most of them aren't. Have you tried any of Scott's games, though? They're a league apart from the others. Here's two of his best:

http://www.javascript-games.org/arcade/galaxian/
http://www.javascript-games.org/arcade/iceblox/

The first time I saw those I was floored, still am. He's managed to exactly duplicate the form, feel, and function of the originals in script, something I thought was impossible. Even more, they worked smoothly on my old 266mhz PII system.

(Tip: He usually defaults to using Q/W for left/right and P for fire/start. Stay off of the spacebar, he doesn't always trap it and in framed games it'll cause the play frame to scroll upward)

Hey, I saw your earlier posts about the turtle in your LOGO script. If you don't mind going IE-only, VML might be useful. It's an XML variant that can create some pretty complex objects with minimal markup:

If you want an eyeful of what can be done with VML, try this one:

That'd be great. I'd be keen to see it if you do.

Hey Anders, how are you? The new house is alright, not as good as my old one, but it'll do. Thanks for asking, it's really nice to be talking to you again.

DC - they're wicked... missed them the first time round. Also, you could do some really cool stuff with VML, will have to start playing with it when I have time.
Do you have a site by the way?
