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.

298c96379030082.jpg iPod toting beanie shows the world your lousy taste in music.

Hats with built in earphones are nothing new, but this new beanie from iThreeSixty takes things a step further by including a clear window that holds the iPod itself.

On the plus side, this does mean that you won’t get tangled up in the earphone cable as you move around, but I think you’ll find that displaying your iPod to the world introduces a host of new problems. For starters, thieves will be able to tell instantly if your hat is worth swiping off your head. Even if you live in a safe area, it’s hard to look cool if everyone can see on the display that you’re secretly grooving to the new Justin Bieber album. But most problematic of all, you’ll need to pull off your hat to dial up any specific album or song.

The beanies sell for about $50, and are compatible with all iPod Nanos except the wider series 3. Some versions include an unspecified donation to AWARE, a group that supports breast cancer awareness.
