The game is GPL and is based on Solitude from the Akihabara HTML5/JS game platform.

And We’re Off!
The proverbial gunshot has been fired and all the developers here at the Guelph Game Jam have started work. I’m included in that list and will be liveblogging my experience, all its ups and downs included.
The theme for this Game Jam is “Big”. Whatever that means is up to you and how you choose to use it in your game is also up to you!
As for myself, I’m thinking Rampage meets Gradius.
More later.
Placeholder Images For Your Site
Placeholder Kitten :}
Sean Yo from last night’s Guelph Web Maker Meetup shared a few awesome web tools I’d never heard of and I thought they were so neat I resolved to share them (and a few extras) today with everyone here.
Every web designer and developer under the sun has used (or at least heard of) the default ‘lorem ispum‘ text that is used as a filler for unfinished text copy on websites that are a work in progress. Well, now us web developers and designers have an option to use something similar for our images as well.
The image on the right should give you some sort of indication where is going… check it:
- Placekitten (fun!)
- Lorempixum (I are profeshunul?)
- Dummy Image (funcshunul)
- Flickrholdr (oooh shiny!)
Coffee and Code in Guelph
Coffee and Code
If you’re a developer looking for something to do on Tuesday nights, look no further: Coffee and Code has come to Guelph. We meet between 7:30pm and 9:30pm to network, discuss relevant programming topics, and get some work done. It’s a great opportunity to meet some like-minded individuals and work in a setting other than your usual lair. Bring your laptop and whatever else you’ll need to do your thing.
Cory Fowler began the Coffee and Code event in Guelph a few weeks ago and has been diligently building up some momentum with it. I think it’s been going for 5 weeks now. I started going on the third week.
Next meeting place: The Albion on Gordon St. Hopefully we’ll see you there!
DemoCampGuelph9 – May 13, 2009 – Be there!
Coming up fast is the next DemoCamp in Guelph. It’s scheduled for May 13th and this time it will be at the eBar on Quebec St. Attending the DemoCamp is completely free and definitely recommended if you’re into programming, new technology, servers, hardware, software, games, or anything else with computers. Usually there are drinks and food included, so come and have fun!
I’ve blogged about previous DemoCamps before, namely the 6th and 7th events here in Guelph. At the 6th event, I presented Jack of All Links.
