Text Based Games

So lately I have been trying to master Javascript which a lot of people would say is not a hard language to master which is true I've been working on this language for about six months stop and go but the last couple of weeks have been nonstop which is good because I am working on making my first Text Based Game through Javascript and CSS


The game is a zombie game but I don't have a website that I could upload it to. I would like to create a bunch of games eventually and maybe host some from other creators but I really need a website so that I may host it. So go hit those shirts guys click that donate button all the cool kids are doing it! 

Anyway about the game, I have seen some text based games where you choose an option A or B and one will lead you to victory and the other will lead to death, my game on the other hand will be much more complicated because you can die but not just by choosing an option but you actually have a health bar, you have weapons to choose from, bandages to heal yourself when needed, and loads of zombies to fight that have different classes. 
There will be many routes in the story to choose from and they all lead to the epic ending but who you are and how you got there will all depend on the choices you made.
It is a turn based game which means you decide if you are going to heal yourself this turn or attack this turn, you will need a strategy. 


This game is not going to come out for a while but if you guys donate I could make this game even better and have much better features because right now I am limited on what I can do with this game, I can't have a user login, save game, or even post scores at the end. These are all things I would love to add to the game but right now it's just not practical.


I'm open for ideas so let me know what you guys think and maybe post some tips on how I could do certain things for the game.


Remember if you donate or buy a shirt it will really help with the production of this game =]

Windows Surface and what is means to YOU

We have all seen the tablets, if you don't have one chances are you've seen one and whether or not you like it this is where our technology is leading. We have to keep up with technology as Developers, Designers, Photographers, and Artists this really plays a big role in our life styles.

We have seen Adobe come out with some programs usable as apps however with the new uprising of the "Windows Surface" we will all be seeing these apps more commonly used.

Some people ask what is the difference a tablet does everything a computer does but in reality tablets are much more practical in the sense that you can carry it with you wherever you are and still be able to perform tasks, watch videos, play games, and even read books BUT never before have we seen a tablet come with a case that is also a keypad. This is going to make the life of a Developer so much easier considering how hard it is to type on tablets. Building programs, apps, web pages and more will be so much easier now that the keyboard is brought to tablets. Not to mention that it's Windows!


With this being the first tablet to include a keyboard we will also see more image editing apps such as adobe products come up and be very useful on the tablet.

A lot of people are saying that this is what is going to kill the PC but I honestly don't think so. I feel that PC's are more useful and secure when in a set position in the household or business place. It also allows for more use of addons like more memory storage and I don't think I could ever give up my PC Gaming!


I do, however, believe that this will make lives easier for both the ability to carry this around wherever you are or to a meeting, and the ability to write using a keyboard. I know I am very excited about this and as soon as I have enough money to spend on this I will.

Why Design Loves Coding

There has been something bothering me for quite a while now and is what inspired me to start this website. In the internet world all websites contain coding it's just the way it works, however a lot of designers don't use coding to their advantage. There are so many websites that fail to meet up to the standard of designing and coding used together.


Design and Coding are two very necessary things to create a wonderful website, without design websites would be unpleasing to the eye and there would be much less usage of the internet in general, however, design needs coding to both help create graphics and to use the graphics to help up the quality of a website.


Besides the actual use of these concepts there are also the websites, forums, and video bloggers that talk about either Design OR Coding but hardly ever do I see someone speak of Design AND Coding on the same website.


This is what Design Loves Coding is. We Discuss Design AND Coding because we love Design AND Coding.
