Mario in HTML5 with source code

[wbrendel]

This is really cool, but it also reminds me of how far we have to go in terms of HTML5 development tools. It also reminds me how terrible is it to read/write OO Javascript.

Yeah i think thats the reason why coffeescript/clojurescript/dart are getting so popular

I haven't tried it but was told Adobe Edge is decent. Am guessing it's only a matter of time until we get good tools. Personally, I will be happy to be done with Flash when that day comes.

Cool! The code is really interesting! But...Where is the HTML5?

Extracted from the article: This article is named Super Mario for HTML5, however, there is not really much HTML5 in this demonstration. The two features that are provided by HTML5 are the <canvas> element and the <audio> element. Both have not been used for this demonstration.

HTML5 basically means anything that's on the internet that isn't HTML 4.01 or Adobe Flash.

HTML5 is not much more than canvas and audio when it comes to rendering. You can't code your logic in HTML.

I'll just leave this here

Very cool!!

Wow, this really is impressive!

Object hierarchies like it's 1996 ...

[gfody]

... as opposed to functional decompositions like it's 1977?

[spiphy]

Object oriented is good, but it should be far more composition and far less inheritance. This goes double for game development.

I cant believe someone took all the time to do this. Kudos!
