I came across Jamie's blog<\/a> after he left a comment on my SVG Solitaire<\/a> post. Apparently he's been a little busy with SVG<\/a> too. If you've got 10 minutes and the Firefox 1.5 browser, why not go try a game of Worm SVG<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Great work! Feature Requests:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Make it work in IE+ASV. Keyboard input didn't work for me.<\/li>\n
  2. Make 'P' pause the game - useful if someone interrupts you at work, ahem... <\/li>\n
  3. Make the worm and dots a little less blocky, more sexy, this is vector graphics after all. At least make the worm a \"polyline\" and use stroke-linecap=\"round\". Or maybe a \"path\" so that you only have to change one \"d\" attribute every time you move the worm...<\/li>\n
  4. Make it work faster in Opera 9 TP1 (if possible), see polyline\/path idea above<\/li>\n
  5. Make a server-side high score tracker (I've been trying to figure out how to do this in a hack-proof way myself)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    My record (after 3 tries) was 200 points.<\/p>\n
