Today I started building a mockup of a small JavaScript game I've been thinking about for awhile. I don't have a lot of art skills so I mostly grabbed sprites from OpenGameArt.org. It's not fleshed out enough to post here (yet), but I'm hoping it's small enough to be interesting and finish-able, since some of my other game projects are larger in scope and after a while I feel like I'm not getting anywhere.

This is also my first post on streak.club, so hopefully this well help keep me motivated!

Today I started learning Node.js using the "Node.js in Action" book. I created a small chatserver (standard nodejs tutorial, haha), and so far it seems pretty interesting! It's clear to me why it makes such a great tool for building servers, its event-driven loop lends itself well to the task.
