[casual_games] Re: Community Functionality

[Jason Van Anden]

I am not sure if I am about to partake in some form of self promotion
in the form of feedback - or if I am about to be guilty of same, but I
have been experimenting with something similar using a low profile
javascript engine within an iframe.

An example of the emotive javascript engine is used in a recent casual
toy found here: http://tax.cf.huffingtonpost.com

The first iteration of this takes the form of a virtual pet (of sorts)
and can be found here:  http://www.smileproject.com/chewy

cheers!
