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.

France-based game designer Frantz Lasorne has created what may be the new standard for next generation games. His experimental, augmented reality game system called SCOPE takes real world toys and/or objects and assigns values and powers to those objects.

Each piece has a different code platform attached that is readable by a connected computer. When the gamer dons the specially configured headset, the objects become fully interactive, allowing for a whole new range of gaming paradigms to be explored. You can see video of the SCOPE game system in action here.
