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’ve seen robberies at Apple Stores before, we’ve seen kids rapping and we’ve even seen death threats, but I don’t know that I’ve ever heard of a wedding in an Apple Store. That’s what newlyweds Ya Ting Li and Joshua Li decided to do at midnight in the Fifth Avenue Apple Store on Valentine’s Day — right there among the iMacs and Macbooks, they got their wedding officiated by a turtlenecked Steve Jobs stand-in.

The rings came in on an original iPod, and the cards and decorations were Apple-themed as well (one says “I love you more than this” with a picture of an iPhone on it). Why did they choose to have their wedding in an Apple temple? The couple even met at an Apple Store. We don’t know the details of that, but we’d like to think their eyes found each other over a 17″ MacBook Pro.

Very cute. Congrats to the happy couple — we would hope that they got AppleCare for the marriage, but we doubt they’d need it.
