This blog will be a development blog for myself. I really don’t know JavaScript all that well, but I’ve always been fascinated with it. These days JavaScript performance in browsers is steadily increasing for every browser release, so I thought why not learn to harness the power (Hah)?
So I decided, for my first challenge, to write a Chips Challenge clone. I love that game. Always had and I probably always will. I’ve played it so many times I know some of the levels by heart. Kind of pathetic, but true. So the first thing I did was to find a sprite containing all the images I needed. I’m no JavaScript wizard (or HTML/CSS for that matter), so I started out by figuring out how to show the extracts I needed to use from the sprite.
My next step is to write out a function to translate my map (which I simply store in an array) and figure out how to move around that freely. That should be a fairly interesting experience… Wish me luck! It will probably take me a year!
