alienA2 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Hi Apart from creating websites, what other applications could you create with HTML5? For example, could one create a game on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingolme Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Using Javascript in combination with the <canvas> element can create basically anything. You still have to put up with the fact that Javascript is an interpretted language and does not have the right performance for a decent videogame.HTML 4.01 in conjuction with Javascript and CSS could already do basically everything, HTML 5 just makes some things easier. In absence of the <canvas> element, an SVG document could act as the graphical interface for any Javascript videogame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrynpeterlowe Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 On Google+ you can play Angry Birds which was written entirely in HTML5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alienA2 Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 lol will give the canvas elements and some javascript a little play. If I come up with something interesting, il post something up here. But generally I take most web games are usually created with Flash if I am right? What is the ideal language and tool used for game development, specifically focusing on the coding side of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescientist Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 What is the ideal language and tool used for game development, specifically focusing on the coding side of it?for desktop/console games?
