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.

They’re reportedly for Google shortcuts, which each user can customize themselves.

Just another reason why I love HTC keypads. While the G1 wasn’t the best I’d ever laid my fingers on, their WinMo phones (such as the various TyTn models) were a joy to use.

These latest close-up photos of the G2’s keypad were snagged by His and Hers Android, and then confirmed by the leaked G2 build, read by AndroidGuys’ reader Tubaking. The Quick Keys are described as allowing “you to assign shortcuts to three keys,” and not only are they “quick and easy” to use, it’ll save time by cutting back on “applications that may take multiple steps to access.”

This phone is expected to be announced on the 15th of September, and will launch on the 29th according to a schedule of launches at T-Mobile, glimpsed the other week. [His And Hers Android and Android Guys via AndroidAndMe]
