I’ve started working on a simple game for the Github Game Off competition and I’d like to share my thoughts and findings on creating games with javascript and Webgl. I will not go into Webgl details, as there is a great number of tutorials that do just that, instead I’ll talk about some of the concepts that I used to make my game.

Yesterday I decided it was time to say goodbye to Ubuntu 12.04 and move to Debian Wheezy. This wasn’t due to the controversial changes Ubuntu made this release cycle, I don’t mind uninstalling a lens I find annoying.
