Dynamic Mapping

It's quick, easy and inexpensive (if you know how). One of the biggest advances over the last few years has been the ability for anybody to gather longitude and latitude information and then plot it onto maps. If you're not already doing it then contact us to find out how you can.

Search Engine Optimization

For most websites, being accessible to Google is probably the most important requirement. The only way that this can be done is to make it carefully thought out and integrated part of your website. If anybody phones up offering to get you to the top of the search engine rankings for a few hundred pounds, don't believe them.

Collaboration Tools

The ability to work on the same documents, build specifications together, build projects together, share ideas and collaborate are essential for modern business. Effective collaboration is at the core of every project that we work on and we use a variety to tools and skill-sets to facilitate this.

Publishing

We have been working with magazine distributors since the earliest days of the Internet to sell British magazines both locally in the UK and around the world. If you're after a fully integrated stock control and automatic ordering system or something as simple as data feed integration then look no further.

International

The World is getting smaller by the day and the ability to work at a desk thousands of miles away is something we've been doing for years. Why let the logistics of getting from A to B get in the way of getting the software solutions you need when everything from meetings to deployment can be done remotely?

Dungeon Master Javascript

Could this be the height of my retro 80′s/90′s gaming obsession I hear you ask?

Well quite possibly..probably not though.

Try my Dungeon Master Javascript version of the 80′s classic Dungeon Master By FTL Games.

The entire ‘game’ is written in javascript and CSS, it should be CSS2 compliant but I have used a few CSS3 methods..

You can control where you are in the maze by using the Arrow keys on your keyboard, or by clicking on the arrow icons in the interface.

The logistics of the game are quite complicated. The main premise of its functionality revolves around a 2-dimensional array of javascript objects, which divide the ‘squares’ into 5 (North, East, South, West and Center) and these have a various properties too..

The visualization takes place by scanning upon movement the present location of the player/view-port in relation to the map, creating walls where it sees fit. The same goes for the doors.

This game will not work in obsolete browsers, and if it does it may be buggy..

There is no pre-loading of data at present. This means it may appear to be malfunctioning when its just loading data/graphics.

In time I hope to develop it further, however with the advent of HTML5 the methods I’m using may seem rather redundant to the modern gamer. Especially with 3d/GL developments.

I cannot take credit for the Dungeon Graphics.. they were taken from the example module of Return to Chaos…and other various old pseudo 3d games.

The source code is freely available, if you do use it though please credit/comment me Joe Shaw.
