FIFA Ethics App
An App for FIFA educating students about 'Ethics in Football'? Yeah... I thought that was a bit ironic too! This was an iPad app containing 4 mini quiz games related to various aspects of ethics. All results are logged into an internal database with a feature to...
Food Waste Quiz
More Animate CC goodness here! A simple drag-and-drop style quiz to test your recycling knowledge. Interesting stuff - got quite a few wrong myself (even after having input the answers myself - doh!).
HTML5 Space Invaders
One of those weeks with not so much to do and giving myself a Twitter reading ban because of that spluttering sack of orange sausage-meat that's playing at being president of the US - what to do? Try to make an HTML5, full, as-accurate-as-I-can version of Space...
Pacman
Ah darnit, looks like the creator of Pacman, Toru Iwatani has died today. Utter genius! I played that game so many times on so many platforms and spend so much money in the arcades when it first came out. I thought I had sussed-out how and why the ghosts move as they...
Qbert Game
Love this one! Another xmas html5 game challenge tackled. Again, great to research the original game, see how the characters move and react, find the genius in the simplicty. Fantastic design and concept by the lovely people at BonnerMcHardy. But the music though!.....
Match 3 Game
Now here was a challenge! Creating a Candy Crush style game from scratch, with highscore database and user registration. I was considering Actionscript and getting it converted by Swiffy until Google decided to pull the plug on the whole Swiffy endeavour. What a...
HTML5 Santa Game
Another Xmas, another browser game, love it. A 'simple' side-scroller, changing scenery over time, nice parallax effects, with all the usual high-scores etc. Once more with a soundtrack that'll do your nut! Click HERE to have a go
Xmas Present Game
The .swf might be a dying format but Flash lives! Once more, I'm buggered if I'm going to try and get this running in pure JS. Flash to Swiffy, a few tweaks (no support for startDrag() as yet) and we have an HTML5 ready game. In fact, this game is up for sale if...
HTML5 Rugby Game
So, the Rugby's finally over but I was sick of it before it began! The brief was to make a 'simple' rugby game to send out before the World Cup. 'Sure' I said, sounds fun... 2 months later it's finished. Have to say I learned a lot about playability and artificial...
Source Slalom Game
Here's a challenge! The brief here was to produce a 3d style ski game that will work on mobile - IN THE BROWSER! So - where to start? Pure javascript? Some form of game framework? Create JS? Euuurghhhh. After a lot of mucking around I simply went back to good ol'...
Floppy Harold
I don't know if anyone heard about 'Flappy Bird', there wasn't a whole massive media hype about this very crappy indie game at all... Anyway, on the back of all that, I managed to make a version of it for the lovely Cabana restaurant people to include in the App I...
Boogie
A few months ago I got a call from 'serial entrepreneur' Jamie Barber who had been bored on a plane, listening to music on his phone and thought that he'd like to have a small version of himself dancing to the music as entertainment and is that something I could...
Ho ho ho
Happy new year interwebs! Here's a bit of fun I produced for London Agency KHWS as their yearly digital xmas card, tweaked a bit to protect the guilty. A simple but quite fun game produced in HTML / CSS / JS, to get the broadest gadget reach, with some HTML5 audio for...
KHWS Xmas Card
Ah Xmas. The time of year when clients want a religiously neutral, non-weather-specific, 'holiday' online interactive card produced. To be honest, I dont think I can come-up with any more snowfall-based ideas! However, the folks at KHWS came up with the concept this...
BBC Life in Cold Blood
A bit of a departure and a great project - A Top Trumps game for BBC Worldwide to promote the awesome Life in Cold Blood programme (coincidentally produced by my old next door neighbour Patrick Morris). All sorts in here - artificial intelligence, all text is from an...
