##”About “IMPACTjs”

###They’re cropping up everywhere - Javascript frameworks for game creation.

You’ve probably played with some by now, and if not, you should take a gander at some of the more interesting ones. Javascript is a surprisingly robust and fun environment to for making games that can run in your browser.

Why Impact? I’ll show you. Bring your laptop to the next meeting - you’re going to use it. We’re going to assemble a simple game together in no time with Impact.js, and you can see why it is an effective and expressive system for creating content.
