I just investigated some time to look behind the curtain of the HTML5 canvas element. It’s been a while since I wanted to do so, but – you know – work isn’t always giving you the time to do things like this. Finally, I managed it and I am very fascinated!
After a quick look at some examples I found out about the Processing JavaScript Library (http://processingjs.org), written by Ben Fry and Casey Reas. Real cool stuff can be easily down with this library as shown on their site. I am now trying to get myself to do some cool features. I will report on if anything new will come on my way. Keep reading.

Back again with a single player version of our ScrapMetalRacer Game. As announced in the previous post about ScrapMetalRacer we finally compiled a version of the Game where we removed all network components. This version will not connect to other clients but you will not need to install the XNA Framework, which should be more likely for the most of you.
Besides this, the game has no limitations, so you will have all the joy and fun with this version, too.

After a long time of not posting anything, I am proud to announce that our ScrapMetalRacer project has finally come to an end.
We are currently testing the release and if you want to help us testing, feel free to download and install the first version of the racer. There are still some limitations that we are about to fix in the meantime, e.g. the screen resolution cannot be changed from 1024×768.
