• To insert fonts, use font-face and the www.fontsquirrel.com service to generate the desired set of files and code.
• For storage of the account is used Local Storage.
• When developing the game, I had to tinker with the sound, especially when it was necessary to dynamically play several files at the same time.
• The graphics were developed in Adobe Illustrator, animated in Flash Pro and then converted using a special AIR tool on the AIR swf file into a sprite.
