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.

We know you’ve got questions, and if you’re brave enough to ask the world for answers, here’s the outlet to do so. This week’s Ask Engadget question is coming to us from Jayson, who loves the flexibility of RAW but doesn’t always feel like lugging around a DSLR. If you’re looking to send in an inquiry of your own, drop us a line at ask [at] engadget [dawt] com.

“I’m wondering if there’s a point and shoot camera that would be recommended for shooting RAW. I have a DSLR , and as much as I love it, it’s not really fun to bring that when I go out in the evenings. I read somewhere that Canon has one available, but I can’t remember which model it is. I prefer to shoot in RAW to give me more options when editing them later. Thanks!”

We know there aren’t too many non-DSLR cameras that shoot in RAW, but for those out there crazy enough to own one or two, why not throw your impressions below? Go on — it’ll be fun, we promise.
