Zelda-like game in javascript

This is a proof-of-concept ARPG game written in javascript. The game is actually quite smooth. You probably won’t notice any lag from it, just like playing in a simulator. To play, your “Z” key is the A button, and your “X” key is the B button.

飛兒樂團 (F.I.R.) : Lydia

[youtube &fs=1&hl=en_US] 歌曲:Lydia 歌手:F.I.R. 专辑:F.I.R.(飞儿乐团) Lydia 迷离的眼眶 为何流浪 心碎的海洋 受了伤 连微笑都彷徨 gypsy 女郎 为谁而唱 你会看见雾 看见云 看见太阳 龟裂的大地 重复着悲伤 他走了带不走 你的天堂 风干后会留下 彩虹泪光 他走了你可以 把梦留下 总会有个地方 等待爱飞翔 Lydia 幸福不在远方 开一扇窗 许下愿望 你会感受爱 感受恨 感受原谅 生命总不会只充满悲伤 Ref: http://www.chinese-tools.com/songs/song/3/lydia.html

In the background the two girls were playing blocks on the parlour rug in the light of the green hurricane lamps. There was an easy, clean aroma of the brewed coffee in the evening air. ...

Badminton online tutorial

There are so many badminton online tutorials out there. Among many that I have read, this site called the Badminton Bible is the most complete and detailed. It contains pictures, detailed descriptions of postures, and also explanations on many things it covers. It is definitely a good starting point to get all your fundamentals down!
