Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back."

What made this especially fun is that they are games written in JavaScript.

Ever since I was a kid, I always wanted to write a videogame. Sure, I wrote one in BASIC (didn’t we all?), and a few lame attempts in C written while in school on a Mac (to the youngins: this was the pre-OSX days). We’re now testing the games in limited production release, and so far the feedback has been pretty good.

Web browser technology has made things soooo easy that I can now quickly throw together a demo of one of the features of the games without looking too much like an idiot.

The demo is here: JavaScript PNG Sprite Animations.

Anyway, the Domo-kun were starting to look really lonely, so I decided to throw together a quick carousel implementation for the heck of it.

After playing around with JavaScript’s Math trig methods (particularly Math.sin and Math.cos), one thing led to another, and after watching a few domo-kun videos on YouTube, I was inspired to use its picture in the effect.
