Getting started.. Processing.js is looking like a good rapid prototype system and I’m feeling confident at the moment that I’ll get something done (if not today, then tomorrow). I took some example code from the processing.js site and started hacking on top of that. Here’s a current WIP screenshot:

The name of the game is “Friendship Snake”. The current goal is to have some stationary non-threatening blockers, some moving kill blockers and some “englightenment” areas. The goal is to guide the red snake of doubt and self loathing into the enlightenment areas which will convert the pieces of the snake that hit into green “friendship” pieces. Once the whole snake is converted, then it’s grown a bit and a new doubt sets in. Will have to see if this initial concept hold or not.
