Barack Whack

I have got the initial version of the Barack Whack game up and running.  It is a little basic right now, but I hope to enhance it over time.  The code is all still an early prototype like state, refactoring to make it easier and more efficient to include on page is high on my todo list.

It has been fun building something like this in javascript.  It has been remarkably easy to develop, though I do need to do some code cleanup now.  The compatibility has also impressed me, it seems to work quite nicely on my Wii with Opera.

The game is pretty simple.  You have 30 seconds to whack Barack Obama as much as possible.  A hit is worth 10 points and every time you hit your point bonus doubles.  If you miss your point bonus will go back to 1, so missing can really lower your score.  There is also a naked Barack worth double points that will pop up from time to time.

My best score is 8150.
