Command & Conquer coded in HTML5
January 24, 2012 – 9:57 pm | No Comment

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.

Making 8 different handsets is no big feat — Hell, Samsung will probably launch 4 or 5 by the time I’m done typing this post — but getting 8 handsets onto one carrier in one year? Not too shabby. That’s what HTC will be doing in 2010 with T-Mobile, says one of Boy Genius’ boys. It’s important to note that not all of these handsets are necessarily new – we’re counting SKU by SKU here, some of which are already in the system. The myTouch 3G and myTouch3G Fender edition probably count as two separate handsets here, and the third is most likely the HD2. You can’t buy the Nexus One through T-Mobile yet, so that might not count; but if they start selling it anytime in 2010 (which doesn’t seem too insane), that’s number four. As for the other four? Your guess is as good as ours, though the original source says it should be about 50/50 in terms of Android/Windows Mobile handsets.
