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.

HTC Droid Eris Cell Phone Review–An Odd Package

Submitted by admin on February 3, 2010 – 3:08 amNo Comment

22590605a398x280.png HTC Droid Eris Cell Phone Review–An Odd PackageSo far, my experience with HTC has been generally positive, with a few small problems here and there. Ironically, this will also be what I think of the HTC Droid Eris cell phone–mostly positive, with a few small problems here and there.

The HTC Droid Eris cell phone uses the Google Android (Cupcake) operating system in tandem with a Qualcomm® MSM7600™ processor and two hundred eighty eight megs of RAM. It has a 3.2 inch touch screen, email client, a battery that supports two hundred and fourteen minutes of talk time, a speakerphone, a five megapixel auto focus camera, support for a variety of audio and video files, Bluetooth connectivity, a microSD card slot, trackball and more.

Special note to the crew out at Research in Motion–this is how a trackball should work. It’s nowhere near as sensitive as the trackball involved with most every Blackberry that comes down the pike. And though there are plenty of great features in here, I do find it a little strange that the phone vibrates every time I select an option. That’s just strange.

But still, strange is, as I said, a very small complaint, so you won’t find much reason to be unhappy about with the HTC Droid Eris.

The Good

Plenty of great features

Proper trackball

The Bad

Vibrates every time you select something

Score 8/10
