Novel idea, but a bit over my head at this point. Maybe I’ll save it, come back when I have more Javascript under my belt. Thanks, though!

This is seriously cool. I am so excited by the possibilities of all these HTML5 technologies, and the kinds of things people will build.
Another brilliant example of what’s possible is this, MMO Scrabble: http://scrabb.ly/
It’s written in Javascript, and the backend is written in node.js, and not only that but that application was done in 48 hours by 4 people for a competition (http://nodeknockout.com/ … which Envato was a sponsor!).
Epic!

So, I just tried this. I downloaded the .zip file and there is no tutorial.. Just the files, is it suppose to be only css/image/js files? Is that what the whole “advanced” thing is about. Please get back to me with an explanation.
Thanks,
Jeremy Byrd
