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.

LG VX8360 Cell Phone Review–Highly Basic Cell Phone

Submitted by admin on February 14, 2010 – 10:30 pmNo Comment

bc045209ebss pdi.gif LG VX8360 Cell Phone Review–Highly Basic Cell PhoneSo I got a little face time in with the LG VX8360, and I’m fairly surprised by how it turned out. Admittedly, this is a rather basic phone, but it’ll still put out plenty of juice.

The LG VX8360 is a flip phone with a 1.3 megapixel camcorder, speakerphone, Bluetooth connectivity, music player to support several different formats, mobile web, mobile email, hearing aid compatibility and a battery capable of provideing an oddly uneven three hundred sixteen minutes of talk time.

See, like I said–it’s a little on the basic side. But it does have a fairly decent set of features, and it even offers a few games to boot. It will do a fair job of making and receiving calls, and if that’s all you’re looking for a phone to do, you’ll do all right with the LG VX8630. If you want a whole Swiss army knife of a phone that can do a little bit of everything, then you’ll want to look elsewhere.

The Good

Basic functionality

Simple and easy to use

The Bad

Minimal features

Score 6 / 10
