I’m torn. I used to use yui 2.x when I worked at Yahoo, and in my current job I use jQuery quite a bit. I’m currently basing my coding on yui3, but I’m torn because it’s an uphill battle to learn this new hybrid library. I just want to get to the part where I [...]

Our barbarian walks around now with a constant velocity thanks to YUI guru Matt Sweeney. I dug around and found this code snippet in the YUI forums:

After spending a bit of time coding tonight we have a character moving around when you click! No collision detection yet, but finally some forward momentum!

I had a bit of time tonight and I managed to pull together some code to display tiles.  There’s a long way to go, but progress is being made.

This is a fun little web based rpg called Aethora. If you like tactical rpgs with alot of different pieces of information and elements to config, you might like this.
Personally, for me, I think it’s not quite my style. I’m more for a action type rpg.

I hope to chronicle here the work I will go through to create a fully realized web-based rpg engine. I’ve done so many aborted attempts in the past, that I feel like perhaps if I write faithfully here on a daily basis I’ll get somewhere. I really want and need your help! There’s going to [...]
