It was great meeting everyone last night at the Bristech meetup. It was my first attempt at doing a live coding session. It was a steep learning curve but I was encouraged to chat to a few people who have been inspired to build a game themselves.
So I did build the game beforehand and have put up the code to the game on Github under http://github.com/davetayls/bomber.
What do you get when you mix a few Leap Motion devices, a few eager developers and space invaders?
We found out at the recent Southville JS Workshop in Bristol. I have been excited about getting involved and I think we had a great workshop to finish the weekend off with some light-hearted fun.
Here are some of the key aspects we went through to program a simple Space Invaders controller using the Leap Motion.
It was great to be able to present at Bristol Skillswap last week. I’m new to the west and am really excited about getting involved in the community here.
I took a flight through my recent journey with United Studios Live and the 3d Audio Visualizer built in to their new website.
The Web Audio API has given us loads of great new toys to play with inside the browser.

I had the pleasure of presenting at AKQA Anoraks in London on thursday. It was a great packed evening. I gave a talk on my adventure over the last few months of building my simple Space Invaders game. Even though it’s a pretty simple game I have learnt enough to talk about it or half an hour.
