Instead of posting news articles I have been busy working on a web project of mine. What I am aiming for is an online version of the gameboy advance game, Pokemon.
I have currently created a simple little website which allows user registration, login and to check your Pokemon party/PC. It does not look like much but there is a hell of a lot of coding behind it to ensure the websites security.
In the video bellow you see my progress. It's a quick look into the user control panel and the actual game play. And if you are wondering, the game will be exactly the same in the sense of battles, training, wild pokemon, gym leaders but it will have completely new maps and will be multi player.
My game progress so far, still a lot more to go.
Don't let the crappy map put you off, it's just for testing. The layout of the control panel is going to have a lot more done to it. Remember this is still in the very very veryyy early stages of development. And just in case you got the wrong impression, you will have to catch your own pokemon. Typing pikachu and receiving a pikachu is just a little easter egg I put in place to help with testing the game.
For all those who are interested in this project. The game itself is purely javascript, no java or flash. Since javascript is rendered slightly different depending on the browser it is currently only for firefox though. It's being done in standard web languages: html, css, javascript and php.
Got any suggestions or comments I would love to hear them.
