Pokemon go down? Practice while you wait!

by Mike Schultz

Pokemon Go just released last week in North America and a number of us in the office are big fans. We’re also big fans of software —  we decided to put together a small demo of our newly released Open Source library, ZingTouch, and make a Pokemon go mini-game with it.

ZingTouch handles the pan and swiping movements that you normally would use to control the game, and brings those capabilities to the web browser. A new animation library called Anime.js is utilized to handle all movement and animations in the mini-game.

Check out the mini-game below and catch Omanyte! (Works best on a mobile phone).
