So, well… I have been part of this community for quite a while and have always admired the talented developers that showcase their work on this site. I however had nothing to showcase, which is quite disappointing because the question that needs to be asked, how could you be a games developer if you never developed held in my mind for many many years.
In September i had the first opportunity to actually put a Degree to use and a realization that there is no excuse to not make a game, since i started working as an Intern games developer, how bout that eh!!
So my job was simple, the company i have been working for is not a programming house, games dev house and has limited understanding of technology (specifically programming), i was asked to make a game for them, for FaceBook.
So in spite of my underlying fears of rejection i decided their was no community better to showcase my work and no community better to scrutinize the game, its code and its graphics than this.

A few notes, the game is done in HTML 5 and JavaScript, while not my language of preference, it was needed to make a game for FaceBook. I only started learning JavaScript when i started my internship. So i hope this community will offer feedback, my main hope here is that from now on i can only become better at programming.
Actually there is one additional note i’d like to make:
When i was doing my Degree, i struggled with my projects, specifically programming, i was convinced programming was never going to be a job for me, one day a lecturer (who knew i was struggling) asked me what i expected to do after i got my Degree, i outright said “Not programming anyways”, the past 3 months have been an eye opener for me whilst i am still no where near where i would like to be in programming, i think i am becoming better.
and yes i understand that JavaScript is NOT Java. This was one lesson i learned very quickly at the start of my internship and while i am aware that this is a game development site dedicated to Java, i did feel that this group would know whats fun and what is not, if needed i will delete/edit this thread.
