Talking about Game development, HTML5 and Javascript.

As a PuzzleScript enthusiast I managed to create a Sokoban game, add a virtual pad to play it on mobile devices, try to monetize it with interlevel ads and port it to iOS with PhoneGap.

Now I wanted to remove the virtual pad and control the game directly with swipes. So I added the TouchSwipe jQuery plugin and with this little snippet:

$(document).swipe({
	swipe:function(event,direction,distance,duration,fingerCount) {
		switch(direction){
			case "left":
				checkKey({keyCode:37},true);
				break;
			case "right":
				checkKey({keyCode:39},true);
				break;
			case "up":
				checkKey({keyCode:38},true);
				break;
			case "down":
				checkKey({keyCode:40},true);
				break;
		}  
	},
	tap:function(event, target){
		checkKey({keyCode:88},true);	
	},   
	threshold:0
});

I managed to achieve this result:

Now I am trying to submit it to App Store as a free app, then if accepted I will release the full source code and start something more original using PuzzleScript
