Hey everyone, here is a new blog post with more in-depth answers to some questions that were asked in the previous blog post

http://www.hive76.org/intro-to-game-programming-with-javascript-update

Also, for anyone who was interested in taking the class, but can't swing Mondays at 7pm, what dates work for you? I'd like to do have two regular dates for people to choose from.

Did anyone look at the games that I linked to in this blog post? http://www.hive76.org/javascript-games What did you think? Any of them seem particularly interesting, either for gameplay, art style, or what have you?

Can't wait to see everyone next Monday.

-Sean

Saturdays and Sundays would be best but i think i can swing down for this Monday.
i like robots are people to, angry birds, filed runners, sketch out, Onslaught! Arena, Canvas Rider, Canvas Defense, Missile Fleet, Sinuous, and Coil.
not in any particular order but i have no problem with the there ones i didn't list these where the ones that most interested me.

Okay, I'm going to try to setup a Sunday session as well. 

Yeah, "Robots Are People Too" is really cool. I like the hotseat gameplay, and the jumping works really well.

Personally, never been a fan of Angry Birds, but I can see the appeal. Actually, Angry Birds is a little more advanced of a game, just because of how it handles the rotations of the falling blocks. The physics system in it is fairly advanced for such a simple game.

I'm really impressed with the production value of Fieldrunners. Neat stuff.

Ya angry birds i like the concept of it more than the actual game but there are other games like it, but they are the only one like it that has a space version and it takes account for multiple gravitational fields.

is Monday the same intro/beginner class or a second advanced class? sounds like the intro class again, just double checking.

All of them are meant for beginners. I'm trying to get an alternate schedule together for people who can't make the weekday nights.

Was there a class previously? I thought Monday August 6th was the first one.

Yes, Monday the 6th is the first one. Jordan is just confused.

SQ: Will the alternate schedule have its own ticketing?
