Soft Paws – Tell you what's good for touchscreen in HTML...

By Gavin Davies

… Hammer…

… Hammer.js is (dead link removed). My girl suggested building an app for kitties to bat moving colours. A few such things already exist but this felt like a good opportunity and yes it works really well! Check out Soft Paws on my Github – at the time of writing it’s not got unit tests and it’s particularly elegant but using trigger.io I was able to build an .apk!

Sadly trigger.io (dead link removed) does not support playback of sound at this time so maybe I’ll have to port to PhoneGap or Sencha? What a shame about trigger.io not supporting audio, though – otherwise, it would have been a beautiful way to get simple games onto Android.
