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.

(For example: “How many N900s did you guys sell?”, or “Is it really worth it to shell countless resources into building your own platforms at this point?”, or “What’s a Nokia?”) Well, get’em ready — and make sure you’ve got a Twitter account.

As far as we can tell, you just need to shoot your questions to @NiklasAtNokia sometime during the one-hour live Q&A session, which runs from 10-11am PDT (that’s 1-2 PM for all you Easterners, or 6-7 PM for anyone riding the GMT line). Got a killer question for him? Share it in the comments
