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. You want fog of war? It has that, too, in addition to a pannable map, different cursors, …

Motorola Entice W766 Cell Phone Review–Aggressively Average

Submitted by admin on February 10, 2010 – 8:28 amNo Comment

fb132b5f0204x280.jpg Motorola Entice W766 Cell Phone Review–Aggressively AverageSometimes you run into a cell phone, especially when you come in contact with a whole lot of them as I do, that’s just plain old–as I said in the headline–aggressively average. There’s nothing that particularly stands out about it in either direction, good or bad. It doesn’t appear to lack anything important yet doesn’t do anything particularly stimulating. And that’s exactly what you can say about the Motorola Entice W766.

The Motorola W766 Entice is a flip style cell phone with a two megapixel camera that offers fixed focus and a digital zoom, support for numerous music and video files, VCAST, a battery that offers sufficient power for five and a half hours of talk time on one charge, mobile email, Bluetooth connectivity, web browser, USB port, GPS, some game demos, speakerphone, a phone book capable of holding one thousand name and number entries, and a selection of tools.

Motorola’s W766 Entice has everything you’d expect a normal cell phone to have and precious little that you wouldn’t. There’s no design quirk or interesting trait or even strange new feature to distinguish this from most any other cell phone on the market, thus I call it aggressively average. This isn’t a BAD thing, mind you–it’s just that it’s not particularly good, either. So if you’re looking for a new cell, you may want to spare a thought for the plain-vanilla stylings of the Motorola Entice.

The Good

Plenty of useful features

Solid controls

Aggressively average styling

The Bad

Virtually nothing to distinguish it from any other phone

Score 6/10
