WeeWar


Evan Martin recently got me and Ryan temporarily (I hope) hooked on an online game called WeeWar. It is a particularly interesting game because the entire thing is done in "Ajax". It really is the path of least resistance these days to build everything in the browser: no plugins, no downloads, not even clicking "I accept" on some activex control.

The game is pretty simple - 7 units on a hexagonal map with different properties (attack, defense, range, speed) and a set of capturable bases from which units can be produced and revenue is generated. Still, I apparently suck at it, having lost 3 of 3 games at this point.

Update(9-24-07): This is a particularl addicting office game, slightly dangerous, but it got old after awhile. They've probably added stuff to it to make it more addicting, so I'm staying away. Besides, Halo 3 launches today.
