Thanks! Yes, melonJS has been very fun to play around with. Their docs and examples are very well done, so I'm having a great time!

It's awesome that you're making a game for your son. Very cool!

If you want to give yourself an even greater challenge, Ludum Dare starts tonight. Makes 7 days seem leisurely! I haven't done one in a while, but last time I did I made a simple JS whack-a-mole game inspired by the decrepit public transit around Washington DC.

Uh, I've been wanting to use Ludum Dare to work on a game for a very long time, maybe next year! Keeping up with the days will be a challenge for me already, I don't want to overdo it.

Thanks for the suggestion though!

Thanks! I did some parallax tests with the different layers and it looks cool. As soon as I can, I'll share some gifs!
