A little while back I took part in the Unmatched Style CSSOff along with a couple of the front end developers from work. I managed an unexpected 2nd place, pipped at the post by a couple of points.
I found the process of competing an entry to be a great motivator for pushing myself beyond what I do as part of everyday work, something I’ve always found difficult to do on my lonesome. So when Github Game Off was announced last week I thought it might prove another chance to push myself further and learn something new (and hopefully win a new iPad).
So here’s the plan. I’m going to build a web based game, something that will push my knowledge of JavaScript and the various HTML api’s - possibly making use of Websockets and Node.js.
Oh, and I’ll blog my progress too, get in the habit of sharing and all that…
