Growing an HTML5 game engine

Craig Robinson is the cofounder of Absolute Hero Games.

Last year we had the opportunity to create a series of five mahjong link games (a variation on the standard) in HTML5 for Spil Games. The first game we built was Dream Pet Link. Given that we were tasked with building four additional games with the same mechanic but different themes, we knew we’d be able to reuse much of the same code. We could just write the first game and then swap in new art and sound assets for the subsequent titles!
