Canvas game try

I had fun last week and made a quick 2D shooter for 2 players with HTML5 canvas.

It took me max 4 hours (including sketches, controls, collision…). Every single feature is basic and the code is shit but the whole thing was easy to make and it’s running. It took me 15 extra minutes to make it usable with touch (tablet, phone..). I used some angularJS for the fun but it wasn’t a need, it was just to practice.

Looks like I won’t code in Objective-C again before a long long time…

I’ll find a host for the little game, share the code and the assets (the explosion animation is from the web) as soon as possible.

Threejs

Someone told me to check Threejs… And this is awesome !! I like the example “css3d/periodictable”.

I know there are some compatibility issues with webgl and some browsers but this is great to get 3D in navigators, really.

I’ll probably give it a look !

HTML 5 Canvas

Hey,

I just discovered Canvas while working on HTML 5… Some people use it to do some cool stuff !!
Check those frameworks :
KineticJS
Sketch.js
PaperJS
MelonJS

Months ago I stopped working on my 360/PC 2D game engine because I couldn’t use it to make iOS games… Well right now I feel like updating it to generate some HTML5/javascript code. I could use some of these frameworks as well… I like the idea ! My motivation is back ! But yeah, the time is still missing. At least, let’s get started 🙂
