Brainless: Zombie Builder

Posted in Labs on | Leave a Comment

zOMG! It’s Halloween again.

Yes it’s time for the undead masses to walk the Earth, eating brains and generally being a nuisance. Here at Huzutech we’re aware of this terrifying threat more than most (we lose a lot of developers this way). So, for Halloween 2012 we’re releasing our brawesome ‘Brainless’ Zombie Maker to help raise awareness of the Zombie threat amongst the general public. With Brainless, you can create and share zombies from the comfort of your own home/office/graveyard so you and your friends can rejoice in their undead magnificence.

Brainless is built using our very own AvatarBuilder platform. AvatarBuilder provides a tool-set that makes it easy to define and manage new avatar styles. We provide a REST API, a CMS to manage digital asset inventories and client side libraries to make integration with Facebook so easy even the undead can manage it.

Brainless was built with the following technologies…

  • HAPI – The Huzutech AvatarBuilder API
  • CoffeeScript
  • SpineJS – an MVC framework for JavaScript
  • The HTML5 Canvas API
  • Braaaiiiiins


At the time of launch, we have tested Brainless on the following OS / Browser combinations…

  • OSX / Safari, Chrome
  • Windows / Chrome, Firefox
  • iOS /
  • Android /

We’ll be adding more posts in the weeks ahead describing how we put Brainless together describing the tools, techniques and gotchas we came across along the way.

If you’re interested in finding out more about AvatarBuilder or our other products and services then get in touch or simply leave a comment if you any questions or suggestions for us.

In the meantime, get busy getting undead. We hope you enjoy.
