The Future of Web Apps – Single Page Applications | The Worm Hole.

This article talks about building “single page applications” which are one of the best ways to create widely useable apps right now – you can add mobile features, or convert the page into a Chrome extension as well.

I’ve been beta testing Stencyl for some time, and recently they have changed the output to be Flash – based on Flixel. This is really great news for flash game developers. As I grow in proficiency, I hope to show you more and more complicated games. And perhaps when Stencyl comes out, I’ll be able to share how I make them!

I’m dedicating my free time (what little there is of it) to creating a game using Akihabara. I will blog about my progress here, and eventually point to the finished game. A month seems like a reasonable amount of time to place in a small game, and it scratches an itch I’ve had for a very long time.

I also seem to have stumbled across some Akihabara tutorials. Hrm.
