Misfortune Cookie
Interactive HTML5 game
Misfortune Cookie is a game I invented many years ago and designed/coded with Flash and Actionscript. Recently I recreated it for full web browser with HTML5, CSS3 and jQuery + Greensock library. The premise is simple: select one of two fortune cookies offered on a plate, and read the revealed fortune message. The fortunes, loaded at random from a database (…or are they?), are existentially testy, inappropriately personal, and universally bad. A special treat of the experience is the use of sound: listen for the gritty slide of the plate across the screen, the ambient thrum of a diner crowd, the koto chord, the sad trombone.
