I recently signed up for a Steam account for gaming and realized I needed an image for my profile. I hate putting up bio pics, so I decided to go with an avatar. It doesn’t quite look like me and I don’t have a cat but close enough for the virtual me! Here’s hoping I don’t become too much of a game addict!
Have been playing around some more with making games/toys and noticed that my draggablable elements weren’t working on ipads or iphones… was seriously bummed until I discovered this most awesomest script that allows touch events to be seen as mouse events in your code.

I haven’t tested it extensively but seems to work on my butterfly play page:

where you can drag the butterflies into the pink column and the background changes.
Tried out some HTML5 tutorials the other day and have my first game! If you click the photo below, you can give it a try!
I can’t believe I just discovered computer games! OK, I loved space invaders and pacman as a kid but never really got RPG or other games until just recently… and me a self-respecting web dev and everything. Now I’ll finally know what my coworkers are talking about.
So far, I’ve been mostly into the hidden object/puzzle games with one of my favorites being “Lost Chronicles: Fall of Caesar” by National Geographic. It’s probably too easy for most but I enjoyed the settings and learning some things I didn’t know about Brutus’ campaign.
