This is a collection of javascript web applications for the Savage Worlds pen and paper role playing system owned by Pinnacle Entertainment Group.
A few may question why I chose HTML/JS for this app instead of traditional compile and distrubute. The primary reason was accessiblity. I can use the same code on an iPad, a Mac Pro, a Windows XP machine, Linux and even my daughter's Kindle. I'm not afraid of closing my source up so the the accessibility of javascript (although the distributed code is minified) was a bonus to me not a burden.
This is a encapsulated app that can be used completly offline once it's on your device.
Since this really doesn't do any processor intensive calculations, JavaScript does well for pushing around variables and objects for such low-intensive purposes. IF I were to recreate this, I'd probably write it in C++ using the Qt framework, but that'd require multiple accounts and distribution and complitaion methods ("ain't nobody got time for that!").
I expect bugs, please feel free to point them out to me by tweeting me at the top of the hosted github application and I'll get on it as soon as I can. Or Submit an Issue if you have a GitHub account.
