glitch-helperator - Dave's Blog

I've been working on the Glitch Helperator. It is a collection of tools and things I've put together for Glitch. It has a few features that I haven't seen elsewhere including:

Favorite Streets

A notebook in which you can save information about interesting streets and later use it to find your way back to them.

Birthday

Find out how old your Glitch is and the date of your next birthday in Glitch time or Earth time.

API Update History

A history of changes to the streets, skills and achievements of Glitch noting when new ones are added and when existing ones are changed.

It also has an interactive skill tree, find nearest feature tool, and achievement display. If you play Glitch, check it out.

Sarah and I have been enjoying Glitch for a while now. Reviews are usually positive although occasionally biting (but mostly accurate).

I enjoy Glitch as a game of exploration: exploring the game's lands with hidden and secret rooms, and exploring the games skills and game mechanics. The issue with my enjoyment coming from exploration is that after I've explored all streets and learned all skills I've got nothing left to do. But I've found that even after that I can have fun writing client side JavaScript against Glitch's web APIs making tools (I work on the Glitch Helperator) for use in Glitch. And on a semi-regular basis they add new features reviving my interest in the game itself.
