HTML5 Canvas – Pong

Tuesday, May 8th, 2012

Hi again,

It’s been said that the classic game of Pong is the ‘hello world’ of game creation, and thus I wanted to try my hand at it. In line with my previous attempt at HTML5, this is also built on the canvas element in HTML5.

The AI is a bit shoddy, but hey, it’s a functional game. Interestingly enough, while I was on my lunch break at work, I couldn’t help but test out this game on my phone, which brought me to adding some touch-screen mobile support to it. I have tested it on a touchscreen IPhone and I’m delighted to say it works as expected.

Reddit RSS Tool

Just wrote a RSS Tool for Reddit.

Currently, if you request an RSS from reddit, all the RSS links will point to the reddit comments. This is not ideal if the topic of the post is (for example) an image. There is no need in going through to the reddit comments first, and then clicking again to reach the image.

This tool will allow you to directly link to the aforementioned image directly from RSS.

To try it out, click here (hosted on this website).

 

I had a few considerations in mind, and as this idea spawned from mobile device usage, two things came to mind

  • Ease of Use
  • Bandwidth conservation

By eliminating the 2-step process
