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.

But it’s not all kludgy controls on this puppy–let’s take a look at what else we’ve got here.

The HTC PPC 6900 Touch is a side-slider smartphone that comes with a battery that can generate a maximum of 3.7 hours of talk time on a single charge, Windows Mobile Professional OS, sixty four megs of onboard memory, 1.3 megapixel camera, infrared port, Bluetooth connectivity, a USB slot, a QWERTY keyboard, miniSD card slot, support for several different audio formats, alarm clock, calendar, and calculator.

Like I said above, this sucker has some definite control issues, which is hard to believe for anything with a full QWERTY keyboard on it, but I’m afraid that’s how it shapes up. Add on a terminal lack of features and it leaves the HTC PPC 6900 Touch as a pretty sorry smartphone.

The Good

QWERTY Keyboard

The Bad

Lack of features

Difficulty in using controls

Score 3 / 10
