Command & Conquer coded in HTML5

Remember the classic RTS known as Command & Conquer? Well, an enterprising coder, Aditya Ravi Shankar, actually recreated the strategy game using nothing but HTML5, where it runs on 69k of Javascript. Why did he set out on such an adventure? For starters, Shankar’s attempt was a self-mandated undertaking in order to improve his coding skills, where he gave himself a one month window to rebuild the game in the browser, and had to comb through the original game’s files in order to obtain all the right sprites, sounds and specs. According to Shankar, “In hindsight, I might have wanted to take smaller steps and make a tower defense game instead of jumping directly into an RTS. Trying to do the whole thing in under a month all by myself wasn’t the smartest idea.” As part of Shankar’s recreation of Command & Conquer, it included buildings, terrain, combat, tiberium harvesting and regrowth, in addition to the ability to sell and repair buildings.

What do they do? They’re fully compatible with your iPod thanks to CONNECTEDwear. That allows you to control said iPod with a series of buttons located on the jacket’s sleeves. The idea is that you don’t have to dig into your pocket and remove your gloves just to change the song. You don’t want your fingers getting cold.

The thing is, these jackets aren’t exactly inexpensive: both cost $350. Considering you can find yourself a nice winter jacket for anywhere from $100-$300 (depending on style and how Italian you want the label to be), I’d be hard pressed to spend that kind of money for the privilege of listening to my iPod.
