I'm Alive

So until about 15 minutes ago, it had been over 3 months since I updated this blog. I guess after school started I just lost my will to keep it updated. Maybe I'll try to give it another shot...

An update on what has been going on with me for the past 3 months:


  • Back at school, having a decent semester, classes are winding down (finals aren't until January though).

  • Club soccer lost in regionals 2-1 to BC, who went on to win the tournament. Not a bad final season with the team.

  • I recently accepted an offer to work for ShopWiki next summer. I'm really excited to give real work and city life a shot.

  • I'm now a vegetarian (it pains me that this qualifies as news, but some people see it as a big deal). That's been going on for almost a month and a half now, and my reasoning behind it is probably subject for a future post.

  • My hair has gotten really long. I think I should probably get a haircut.

Zoomix: Another Javascript Game

Yesterday I wrote another game using javascript and the <canvas> tag. This time the design of the game is completely original, and I think it came out pretty nicely. Hopefully you should be able to figure out the rules / object of the game after playing with it for a few minutes. Let me know what you think!

The look and feel of the game was inspired by the Rubik's Cube. After creating a static image of a face of the cube, zooming in on it seemed to be the only logical thing to do. After that was implemented, the mechanics of gameplay just fell out.

The complete list of these small games I've written is here.
