Tower Defense Spider

So at work all I have access to is notepad and internet explorer (no internet might I add). So I frequently give myself programming challenges of creating, testing and playing little bits and pieces with all I have available. My latest trial has been a tower defense game using no imgaes, just using javascript and html. The catch being is that to give a bit of graphical representation to it I just used Wingdings or Webdings fonts to have an icon system. I have learnt that firefox doesnt like this. There are actually a few CSS things that might not work outside of IE6... i know its a huge step backwards but due to work limitations I never programmed multiple options into the CSS and javascript, besides which as far as I know the dings fonts arent available in firefox so would have to put in image compatability.

The Game Link: Spider Defense

Anyway, so give it a try in internet explorer as the CSS was written for that so the formatting displays how intended. I am working on a universal one, and this one isnt the latest version either I might add, the list of known bugs is listed below. I will update as each version is tested but I wont put this as a priority as it was just a time waster at work

    Bug List
  • Your life square takes damage but doesnt die, or isn't highlighted when being hit
  • Same goes for to>wers, they arent removing when destroyed... kinda major bug!You dont get money for killing spiders
  • You dont get money for completing waves
  • There are some random freezes that are being investigated
  • Balance issues are ongoing, including economy and difficulty
  • The start timer for building is still 5 seconds, this was for debugging and I forgot to change it back

I think you can view the source code if anyone wants to have a look how it was done, I am pretty sure I didn't hide it, it is all in one so the CSS, JS and DOM HTML should be open source
