The Running Man!

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

Today i've been mainly watching or trying to spot my two good friends Griff(@griffinabox) and Lewis complete the London Marathon.

To celebrate their momentous run I created this little flash game.. Griff Vs Lewis - Street Runner.

It was quite a challenge to code up and I enjoyed the process, it still needs some of the maths adjusting but apart from that i'm quite proud of my efforts and very proud of the boys who managed to complete the marathon in ?hours and ?mins and ?seconds, ?hours and ?mins and ?secs respectively.

It has given me a boast for my little 10k Bristol run in may, I may even create a Andy vs Hannah version of the game

Very moving although it's easy to see why everyone might not get it, one commenter on You Tube described the ad as

"It's a concentration camp victim with a wind machine! "

... maybe he just doesn't get Mr Cunningham's brand of genius.

I especially like the muffled out mystical version of There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart) by the Eurythmics Donna Summer - I feel love
