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.

Home Made Carbon Tablet Runing on Windows

I’m not quite sure about what he used as a base (motherboard…), but inside, there’s an Atom Z530, 2GB of RAM, 40GB of storage (SSD), a Motion Sensor, and Wifi+BT. Externally, there are USB 2.0 and other commonly found ports on Netbooks. The whole package weighs 3.2lbs, and you can look at the demo below. It took him a few months and a budget of about $600-$700 to build this, he says.
