It shall be added to the data! I'm just having a look at writing a really small simple game in JavaScript...just to get to know JavaScript in a painless way as possible. Using browsers for games would certainly score well for COST,FOLKS,JOBINT and PUBLIC, but would have to score zero for STD and lowish for QSTART. > Just out of interest, how are people likely to > react to a bit of homebrew if you were to, > say, whip out your GBA/other supposedly closed > platform in an interview and show them > a game you've made? I've not had experience of this myself... I wouldn't have thought that the homebrew GBA stuff would cause the prospective employers any concerns that you were some kind of dev kit stealing, NDA trashing, individual though...aslong as you make it clear that it was done using reverse-engineered public domain libraries. I think it's only publicly accessable platforms that I can list in this anaysis anyway really. ( Of course the Yaorze is king in that situation because you can present your game running on a PSone and then if any specific questions were posed like: "Where the hell did you get the SDK?", you have a legit' explaination. Pitty the PSone is becomming dated now ) Cheers, Jon
