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.

Samsung SyncMaster LCD Monitor Review–Huge Boost To Your Mobile Gear

Submitted by admin on May 24, 2010 – 12:40 amNo Comment

The folks out at Geeks.com sent me a thoroughly amazing piece to review for you this time, and I’m astonished to be talking about it. What they sent was a Samsung SyncMaster monitor, and this bit of their set of 24″ LCD monitors will blow your MIND.

Part of a large array of LCD monitors available from Geeks.com, the Samsung SyncMaster is a twenty four inch 1080p LCD monitor that offers a pair of built-in three-watt speakers, a variety of inputs based on your device’s capability (HDMI, DVI with HDCP and VGA), wall mounting capability, Off Timer energy saving function, and a home theater-worthy fifty thousand to one contrast ratio.

We all know that one of the deepest downsides to most any mobile device is its tiny screen. Laptops top out at about seventeen inches, most times. Netbooks slightly less. Mobile DVD players and the like go even farther down. Cell phones are lucky to hit three inches.

But when you’re home, and you still want to use your mobile device, it’s great to have an option to do that, and that’s what The Samsung SyncMaster will do. Patch this thing into anything with an HDMI port, or even a VGA, and gawk at the difference as you go from Teeny-Weeny Eyestrain-O-Vision to Holy-Hell-That-Is-Incredible display. Because seriously, this thing is beautiful.

And the best part? The PRICE. Buying from Geeks.com gives you access to refurbished gear, sometimes hard to find, that is generally just as good as brand new and off the shelf. And you’ll pay significantly less for it too–that beautiful Samsung costs a hundred and ninety bucks through Geeks.com.

Thus, the Samsung SyncMaster is a spectacular buy if you’re tired of squinting at your mobile gear’s tiny display.
