Future Ideas

There are just so, so many different coding libraries and frameworks out there.
And I want to try them all.
I’ve just started getting my feet wet with Backbone.js, but am itching for so much more. Knockout.js looks fairly fun to try out, especially given the real cool tutorial experience they offer. At first I figured it would simply be another approach to MVC (simply speaking, a Backbone.js clone), however a rather informative post over at Stackoverflow.com offered a pretty cool breakdown of both Frameworks. Follow the link for the discussion of Knockout.js vs. Backbone.js.
If I really feel ambitious, I may give melon.js a try. It looks like I’d also need to check out the Tiled Map Editor as well. So that’s why maybe I’ll push it for a crazy stormy day during this winter season.
I guess the biggest thing would be to upgrade my Ball Game to work with Backbone.js. After that, maybe give it the ability to drag and drop - which would really give some much needed user feedback as to how the hell to play the freakin game. I’ve learned the hard way that unless I explicitly show people how to play, most have no clue how the game works.
Well, that and get some of the crap from my old posterous account over here.. Or link through their API. You know, if I got any spare time.
