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.

If you ever wanted to watch movies stored on your computer (you know, the ones you legally downloaded from the web earlier) in style, Buffalo might have the right device for you. Their HD-AV2.0TU2 [JP], an external HDD, is currently Japan-only, but the company sells a good number of external storage solutions in other countries, for example the US , too (which means this new HDD might become available there in the future). The main selling point of the HDD is the nice design. Technically, the device is just another USB 2.0 hard drive that holds 2 TB. In case you wonder: The blue dots indicate how much space is left on the drive (100% on the picture above). The HD-AV2.0TU2 is already available in Japan where it costs $485 (available in piano black only). Buffalo also offers versions with 1.5TB ($250), 1TB ($190) and 500GB ($150) capacity. The devices are sized at 174×45×158mm. Via Akihabara News
