I'm trying out some stuff myself. They aren't exactly games but seeing these examples have just given me inspiration to try creating a simple game using YUI. Way to go!

I recently created a memory matching game that doesn't use YUI, but I may incorporate it soon. http://www.wegoall.com/michael_dowling/memory/memory_match.htm That’s pretty awesome stuff.

Blackbit designs, implements and hosts ambitious websites mainly for the purposes of web-marketing, external presentation and communication. The main idea is the community thought: Turning the recipient as quickly as possible into a dialogue partner and personalize follow-up communication. Go®-community was designed from the very first as social software and was extended in 14 man-years of development work to a multipurpose web-platform: Community, chat, blog, ecommerce, asset/product management. The clue about the software: The appearance as a blog or a product management system is not a question of modules, but of configuring one and the same underlying system. This customization is often highly specific and was carrying each programmer’s handwriting. To standardize this work, the YUI toolkit was chosen recently. Blackbit collects libraries for setting up go®-community on the basis of YUI. The aim is to create a YUI-based construction kit for template building which shall not implicate any restrictions for the screen design. So far, grids, menus, buttons and tree have been implemented. More YUI features will come. Several possible solutions were discusses: There was no long debate about Microsoft framework as it implicates too many technological dependencies. Google web toolkit was regarded as easy to handle through its wysiwyg-editor but too difficult to integrate precisely. RTFM ruined DOM API: The licence model was too complicated for us. The dojo toolkit works fine, their grid tables were released earlier than YUI but it has a deficiency in the documentation. The crucial factors in Blackbits decision for YUI were the quality of the APIs and the simplicity. Coders can get go with the projects instead of spending ages on studying YUI. This standardization upvalues the software: go®-community is also licensed to other agencies to implement projects with. By the implementation of YUI the demand for training on administration will become less.

I agree that we have a preponderance of functional examples and a dearth of tutorials. That we will rectify over time -- no quick fix to that, but we understand that utterly. Do keep in mind this thread when you see a tutorial that's particularly helpful or well done that you'd like to suggest as a model for these. We have ideas about these, obviously, but it would be interesting to know what you find most helpful. Regards, Eric @Jack,

Eric, thanks for the response. I think the format for the "Getting Started" section of each component is great. However when I go here: http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/examples/ There are lots of good functional examples but the tutorials are limited in number and IMHO, when I do see one it doesn't have the feel of the Getting Started sections. I was referring to Kris's use of the word "more" rather than simple. The Getting started sections are simple enough I believe. ;) Maybe I've missed it but a "best practices" doc would be good as well. Maybe offering suggestions on many of the things [with reverance] Douglas Crockford [/with reverance] covered in his videos. I can't say enough how pumped I am about YUI and the hard work you guys do. Thanks!!! Eric Miraglia said:

It doesn't use yui (everything was written from scratch) but the results are similar and there are only 2 people working on it part time.
