Playing some agar.io


As its the end of the year I tried to spent more time having fun. So here is me, eating other players in agario. The game has very simple concept but it turns out that the most simple and straightforward mechanics are the best to make amazing gameplay. Eat or be eaten. Its so much like the real world.
Anyway my strategy in this game is relatively simple - go to one corner and try to make other players disoriented and eat them while they think what to do and where to flee. It works as you see from my screenshot. ;)
From the moment you get on the leaderboard its a bit mo slow to grow and harder to play as you need bigger enemies to eat. But with enough luck you can get the first place.

Android game development with libgdx


Recently I've discovered an amazing android game library - libgdx. Its not only an android library as it can produce ios, html and desktop games with you writing only once.

I'll stop myself from babbling all about this fun engine as I plan to make several small tutorials on the basics of it. It will be fun and also can help some people to start make mobile games.

As Christmas is near I think I must make something in the spirit of it, so maybe decorating my blog in some stupid Christmas patterns?
