I've been slashdotted

Looks like my server bill's gonna be pretty hefty this month, if things keep up I'll have a million hits in a week.

I'm quite boggled at how much attention my script is getting. What d'ya think?

Nice,
Congrats, but i can't play it, it tells me something with browser incompatibility (i'm using FF 1.0.6)

[MstrBob]

Whoah, you wrote that? Very nice mate, I saw that on slashdot yesterday and played around.

LCF, you need Firefox 1.5 (which I think is only at RC 3 stage right now, it's tentatively scheduled for a final release Nov 29 - tomorrow). Canvas tag support was added in Gecko 1.8, so I guess SeaMonkey will support it. Safari supports it, and I guess Konqueror does/will since they both use the KHTML engine. Opera 9 supports it as well, though it's rather slow. But Opera 9 is still in testing not a final release yet. IE 7? No clue, but I doubt support for it.

Kudos moosie.

Thanks guys its been a fun little project.
I've been flooded with emails, but luckily I didnt publish my normal address on the page.
You might be interested in a textured version I am working on:

It's not quite as smooth as you will notice.

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

You should add a shoot feature! :p ;)

I'm going to start working on the zero gravity mod and some nice weapons mod's, okay? I'll make your knife look like a spider and the silencer on the gun can be a cat just like in postal 2.

Excellent work Moosie.

[BigMoosie]

Thanks Stephen,
and PeOfEo... wtf?

[PeOfEo]

You know... games are fun... but modded games can be more fun! So like... you can jump real high, or use a tazer, or something.

About 200 000, they died down pretty quick. If you notice on the page though I have a link to my web host, he said he would waive the extra bills if I did that. Saves me 45 bucks!

hahahha, neat trick!
