&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dwmkerr.com/experiments/spaceinvaders" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="images/spaceinvaders.jpg" alt="spaceinvaders" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Space Invaders is a great little game to code if you&amp;rsquo;re learning a new language or technology (and JavaScript is still very much in that category for me). I&amp;rsquo;ll be writing up how I made the game on the CodeProject soon enough (if you&amp;rsquo;re interested you can &lt;a href="http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/642499/Learn-JavaScript-Part-1-Create-a-Starfield" target="_blank"&gt;see how I made the starfield background in JavaScript&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can check back periodically - the game is nearly done and more than ready to play with. The code is available as well, either just get it from the browser or check &lt;a title="Space Invaders on GitHub" href="http://github.com/dwmkerr/spaceinvaders" target="_blank"&gt;Space Invaders on GitHub&lt;/a&gt;. I&amp;rsquo;ll post when it&amp;rsquo;s done and the next experiment starts!&lt;/p&gt;</description><category>CodeProject</category></item></channel></rss>
