So, me and some teammates of mine from Incognita Studios were at the Devmania in Mainz, Germany this week-end.
What is Devmania you might ask? It is a get-together for german independent game developers which lasted about 24 hours beginning Saturday 2 pm local time. Besides having project presentations and talks they organisators were also hosting an overnight contest in which an entry had to incorporate the theme moonlight. We had about 18 hours to complete a game.

BIGJAM Day One

I’m currently at BIGJAM in Berlin where already two 3-hour jam happened. I didn’t finish my entry on the first one which themes were “fish” and/or “attraction”. I’m going to work on this one later one though, I only needed a couple of hours more to finish the game.

But I finished a game for the second jam where the themes were “serenade”, “luxury” and/or “she doesn’t love you”. You play it in your browser here. (Only if your browser supports HTML5.)

Intro to Processing.js for web games

Posted by Johannes Stein on Jul 13, 2010 in Development, Games, Libraries | 0 comments

With HTML5 and its new features – most notably Canvas – gaining popularity each day, the question arises if you Canvas is capable of web games. Well of course it is or wouldn’t be writing this tutorial. So the question is more like “Where do I start?”.

Welcome to this intro to Processing.js in which I am going to show what this Processing is, how it is capable of web games and the first steps when to get started.

What is Processing?

The Processing language was created by Ben Fry and Casey Reas. It evolved from ideas explored in the Aesthetics and Computation Group at the MIT Media Lab and was originally intended to be used in a Java run-time environment. In the Summer of 2008, John Resig (Inventor of jQuery), ported the 2D context of Processing to Javascript for use in web pages. Much like the native language, Processing.js is a community driven project, and continues to grow as browser technology advances.

#16 in Theme
#19 in Graphics
#14 in Audio
#12 in Community (although I’m still too shy to chat in the IRC channel)

Go check out the results for yourself.

Thanks to everyone who voted, participated and/or left a comment. (Except of course for that guy who gave me one point in each category, seriously, dude?! <-- Btw: This is a smiley which means you shouldn't take this sentence too serious.)

Pierrec wrote a review about my game (in french) on his blog L’Oujevipo.
