Alx Dark has created The Tombs of Asciiroth a fully functional roguelike-meets-puzzle-arcade game.

Asciiroth is a a complete, functional, open source game, written using GWT, and distributed either as an Adobe AIR application, or as a game you can play over the web. In the latter case, it uses Gears to provide saved game support. (So bottom line is you can play it using AIR or Firefox... IE is too slow, Opera/Safari aren't supported by Gears.) It also has a map editor that is distributed as an Adobe AIR application.

It is very cool to see applications written using Ajax, and then using both Gears for in-browser functionality, and AIR for desktop deployment.

Ryan Stewart of Adobe and I got to give a joint talk this morning that covered Adobe AIR, Gears, and how you can build offline and desktop applications right now.

Obviously, Ryan gave an overview of AIR, and I did the same for Gears. We also discussed reasons to be excited about Web development, some of the ideas that are out there in the community, and how AIR and Gears can be seen as complementary.

We had some requests to put the slides online, so here they are below. I know it is hard to peruse slides without the talk over, but just think of it as a fun exercise to wonder what we said :)

If you are at Web 2.0 Expo, give me a shout on twitter.
