welcome on board!
you need an "up" key to repeat the last api call.
MMOs are difficult. It's a pretty daring endeavor, considering that Tiny Speck raised $5m in 2009 for just this one game.
We're a small team of Javascript/HTML5 developers, building the future of games.
Prerequisite: must be willing to learn different technologies to solve problems. Game background not required, we'll teach you everything.
If you're in Hong Kong, drop us a line!

here's a suggestion: start immediately with a cool project, like a game or a web server.
Beats the "here's 2+2" type problems.
this leaves the space open for anyone who wants to start a different type of game-hackathon.
mobile version works pretty well. This fb virality thing is nuts.
are ads enough to support your operational costs? Any more ideas moving forward?
i think there's some potential in anonymous feedback for large brands. Build a business development team and go after them.
what about having a 5 million/yr revenue run rate. With "valuation" multiples of 20s, you can get to a value of $100 million.
any meetups planned in October? Which website should I check out for events?
you can also incorporate before applying (if you're serious about the idea). Use services like LegalZoom, they cost around $300-$600.
In the event that you do get into YC, or raise 5-6 figures of seed money, you can always go to a lawyer and reissue stock certs, articles of incorporation, etc.
localhosts: check
i suspect it's the free WiFis that require you to comply with their terms and conditions. They probably catch the traffic and inject text ads into the HTML, which arguably is quite clever and malicious.
i'll get more data to confirm this
i get happy when things "connect" in my head. It's a rush.
works like a charm
also found Drive-In, which runs on Apache+PHP https://github.com/scottjehl/Drive-In
SHIM looks pretty promising, and runs on nodeJS https://github.com/marstall/shim
Any non-nodeJS alternatives?
one thing i learned abt making games is to limit the game space, and user input. Foster a healthy community first, then introduce freedom.
what're your thoughts on HTML5 games? Since you're so invested in so many apps across multiple platforms, there has to be some thought on a cross-platform strategy. Any way I can reach you directly?
what kind of a co-founder "protects" his contacts from a fellow co-founder? Dysfunctional relationship at best. Cut him off, take everything you've built and go somewhere else. He's got nothing legal against you.
Then start learning abt VC, meeting people, and cutting deals by yourself. It's not that hard.
i tell them "I make mobile games", in which case 99% of the time, they'll bring up Angry Birds.
tried it. The greatest takeaway for me is being able to edit the code and see changes live.
nice! I want to learn how to build a simple iphone/android emulator running on the web, which I can drag drop elements into.
where are the charts? i'm not buying an article without numbers
broken link to his allegedly new "search" startup
of course, the article was dated Jan 2011
