2tap.comRandom projects and stuff by Russ Hall in London

The latest version of “Tap Trap” is now live.

New features include:

• More high scores shown (top 30 now rather than the original top 5)
• ‘Replay’ feature – watch any game currently in the top 30
• New theme “alternate” – it’s ugly, but it might help people who have trouble with red/blue/green

“Tap Trap” is a puzzle game written in Javascript. It was born after a lengthy battle with an addiction to the puzzle game Same GNOME. As a standard client application Same GNOME (distributed with the Gnome desktop environment) is great but I wanted a version that could be played online – complete with public high score tables and taking advantage of the global accessibility that the internet provides.

This is a playable version 1.0.

Hello, and welcome. Whilst I’m really not a fan of blogs in the traditional sense (with some notable exceptions), they do seem to be a convenient, central place to collate ideas and useful finds for future reference. Which is my plan for 2tap.com.

There are two sins for which I am consistently guilty and wish to address:

1. Frequently coming across, and promptly forgetting, useful tidbits of knowledge – either from others or items I’ve stumbled upon myself.
2. Leaving random projects I’ve done to languish on a CDR never to see the light of day again.

So this is what 2tap.com shall become. Random software, web and technology interests with the odd project to share for good measure. Primarily for myself but also for anyone who can glean anything useful.

To sumarise, it’s geek stuff without the angst and political agendas. Well, mostly!
