Progress!

I spent a big chunk of yesterday in a Starbucks outside of Modesto California. They charge for wireless internet in a lot of coffee-shops out here, which is a shock to me - I'm used to wireless being more of a right then a privilege.
Anyway, as the title of this entry suggests I made some progress, specifically on the HTML side of the game. Throughout the Help Desk Game Development Group's history, several different guys have had the task of turning the images and learning content into a web-based game (Nathan, Chris, and a long time ago a very hard working student named Josh Krohn). Being the least HMTL-inclined of our group (and a horrible speller), I typically stayed out of that side of the process. But this time around is different; since we'll have a lot of animated GIF's decorating the game it made sense for me to take over the super-basic HMTL stuff, because I'll be updating it as the game progresses. What I wrapped up yesterday was splitting my images up into pieces, tying those pieces together in HTML frames, and getting many of the frames swapped with animated GIF's. Let's hope I haven't somehow doomed the project with my meddling.
