Tweet Galaxy

I came up with the concept for Tweet Galaxy earlier this week as a challenge to myself to create an HTML5 game. This is written entirely in Javascript, and makes use of the Twitter API to pull your profile and the profile of someone whom you would like to challenge in space combat!

Your friend’s followers will try to prevent you from getting to them, broadcasting tweets as swarms of them attack your Twitterspace Spaceship.

Be sure to follow Tweet Galaxy Game on Twitter if you’d like be in the default ‘enemies’ list!

NASA celebrates 10 years of humans living in space

Today (November 2, 2010) marks the 10th consecutive year of the International Space Station’s occupancy. Pretty cool.

Although we haven’t put anyone on Mars yet, I’m excited for the day when we do eventually land humans on other planets and have them stay for extended periods of time. Some day…

Also, I discovered this delightful gem called AsciiSector. I don’t know how I missed it, but to me it feels a lot like what Eternity would be like if it were pure Ascii. In any case, both ‘discoveries’ today are huge inspiration! :)
