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.

Not too sure what took so long for an electronic songbook to be invented despite having the proper technology to do so after all this while – we’re talking about the i-tab which comes with a 5″ touchscreen display which is capable of displaying and scrolling through chords and lyrics in perfect synchronization as you play, functioning as a sort of musical teleprompter for guitar players. Equipped with 4GB of internal storage space, it ought to prove enough to tote around thousands of tabs which can be purchased and downloaded off i-tab online Tab Store. There are now 5,000 tabs available, with another 500 or so being added to that number weekly. Other specifications of the i-tab electronic songbook includes a built-in speaker, a headphone port, USB connectivity, a stylus and video out. Expect to pick one up this April for $199.
