Playable on any modern web browser (including mobile devices), this game includesa few interesting features such as global ranking of the images regardless of tournamentformat and a color commentator who uses this information to talk about the match.This is a work-in-progress demonstrating some of the best of what I've been usingprofessionally lately.  The server-side components are written in Python, and the front-endhas a full-featured from-scratch MVC framework.  Unit tests exist for all components,though coverage keeps bouncing around as I keep playing with various experiments.  The APIis fully documented, though only enough of it is implemented to run the game in its firstiteration.This is an open source project, and I hope that others will be able to use it in the futureas a reasonable demonstration of how modern web applications can be put together, and howwell-defined APIs permit interoperable clients to be easily written.Fork this project on GitHub!Just 5 MinutesPicture this: dynamically-generated Super Mario Bros. with rogue-like RPG elements and apanic-inducing time limit, running on the Ouya or other Android devices.  Just 5 Minutesstarted as an exercise in learning 2D game programming for the Android, building off ofNotch's (in)famous "Infinite Mario" codebase.This has been waiting on getting decent commercially-usable artwork for roughly forever,though recently some usable sprites became available over atOpen Game Art.  Stay tuned on seeingthis one show up on the Ouya store.All NPCs MUST DIE!A twin-stick shooter with its heart firmly planted in Robotron and its tongue firmlyplanted in cheek.  The key feature on this game is that the weapon has more than 10different attributes, each of which can be tweaked individually.  This means that theguns in the game behave in all sorts of surprising and amusing ways, such as strangesquiggly paths or even just a cloud of bullets that surrounds and protects the player.This began as two experiments in one: how does a 2d game engine really work, and how doesthe HTML 5 canvas work.  A more ambitious Android version suitable for playing on the Ouyais in the works, but in the meantime the original on the site is still fun to play.You Said What?!Take Cards Against Humanity, put it on the web, and let people make their own answer cards.Mix, and let fester with the best (worst?) of whatever the internet can come up with.  Thisgame is playable both on the website, and isavailable on the Play Store.The cards get rated aga
