Today I looked into learning JavaScript.  Basically it’s a weakly-typed declarative/functional language with a couple object-oriented features for good measure, much in the line of PHP or Perl.  The interesting part, though, is the “HTML DOM”, a set of objects that allows JavaScript to access and manipulate the web page it’s a part of.  I went into this project looking to learn automatic form validation, and I’ve figured that out.  Even that much may allow me to add new features to my web-based games.

Speaking of web-based games, I had an idea for another little project for the TIGSource Commonplace Book Competition.  I’m calling it “NecroFodder”.  We’ll see if anything comes of it.
