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.

9736e8dd05press1.jpg SMS Replier Not Only Automatically Replies to Texts, It Knows When Youre Driving [Android Apps] Aha! It looks like State Farm’s app isn’t the only app that helps keep you from texting while driving—there’s SMS Replier too. And this app will know when you’re driving.

So not only can you set customized replies, you can also choose how long you’re doing the activity, so the phone will only reply “In a meeting” during the two hours that you set that you’re in a meeting. (Would be nice if this synced up with your Google Calendar too, to automatically know what you’re doing.) What’s also cool, is if someone calls you during this time, SMS Replier will auto-reply to that as well, saying you’ll call them back when you’re done.

Other features: Up to 5 numbers that you can add to get incoming calls and texts. Say, for emergency calls. Or also set numbers that you don’t auto-reply to.

The app’s available for Android, BlackBerry and Windows Mobile. [SMS Replier]
