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.

Remember way back in August last year , when Toshiba announced the “world’s first 64GB SDXC card”? Well, actually Panasonic was faster (even though that company waited until January this year with its announcement), and it already has been selling their own 64GB card [JP] in Japan since February. But starting this Saturday, Japanese users can choose between that and the Toshiba card, as announced [JP] by Toshiba today. While the Panasonic card currently sells for just around $500 [JP] in Japan, the Toshiba model will cost a whopping $700 (we have no information on a release outside this country). Toshiba claims their class 10 card has a top write speed of 35Mbps and a read speed of 60Mbps. Theoretically, you’ll be able to handle a 2.4GB video file in 70 seconds. And that’s not all. While SDHC cards max out at 32GB, SDXC card can store as much as 2TB, meaning some company is sure to roll out even bigger SDXC cards soon.
