jsGameSoup physics and vector math demos

I've updated the jsGameSoup project with a couple of new demos showing how to integrate it with some 3rd party libraries that are useful for making video games.

The first demo shows how to integrate the sylvester.js library. This is a great little single-file Javascript library that covers the basic vector and matrix math nicely. Check out the attractors demo, and don't forget to view source!

The second demo was created by Nick Lowe and it shows off the Box2d.js physics engine integrated with jsGameSoup. Check it out! I'm really happy to have such a robust and popular 2d physics engine working along side jsGameSoup in the browser. Great stuff!

Infinite 8-bit Platformer Alpha

After nearly two and a half years of development (longer if you include prototypes), I am releasing the alpha binaries of Infinite 8-bit Platformer for Windows and Mac. Linux users can of course continue to use the source, Luke.

I guess there is not much else to say. This is a kinda big deal for me. I would really appreciate it if you share this around!

Let me know what you think!

Thanks so much to Joe Deken for getting me out for the trip to San Diego, Family Night at a Boys and Girls Club in Long Beach where we demoed Pd with game hardware to the kids there, the Crash Space pd_LAunch events, patching circle, workshops, meeting with Miller, etc. and most especially for putting me up and driving me round Los Angeles and surrounds. Thanks too to Theron for everything he did, and for Miller for coming up from San Diego and showing is super-cool ceramic tile twist~ algorithms. I had a really awesome time. You guys rock! (also thanks again to the NYC people, especially Hans and Rivka!)
