Old JavaScript Code
« on: January 29, 2013 »
Many, many years ago (6 or 7?) I created some games in JavaScript, and I've been looking back at them for code examples.

Most of the resources on my old "After School Programmers" site are out dated, but there are a couple of challenging games on there for IE only. If I get time I'll update them for all browsers.

The games are on http://asp2.barcodebattler.co.uk/MyGames/index.php and are accessable from a drop down menu with "Pie Rats of the Caribbean" as the default option. The best ones are Mole Mash and Lone Invader.

I have developed a newer version of my JavaScript event handler code which should run under IE, FireFox and Chrome.

There may be problems under older versions of FireFox, so please test this out and let me know if it works in FireFox, and which version of FireFox you have tested it with.

To test this, please download and extract the files, then run the web page in FireFox and press your arrow keys. The red square should move accordingly.

I have tested it on FF 15, so hopefully it should run well for all later versions at least.

(edit) The attachment has been superceded.

Thanks guys - this was before the Canvas was widely supported, so the programming is quite crude, but they work as games.

I've been testing my template under FF 17 and it works, so I'm confident that it should be fine for newer versions (I've turned automatic updates off for FF).

(edit) I have added mouse tracking in the form of four green lines which follow the mouse. I have tested it in IE9, Chrome and FF 15, 17 and 18, and it seems to work for all of them.

Time for me to update the old games and make some interactive demos.
