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.

Apparently there is an iPad game behind these crazy commercials, but we posted them mainly because they’re hilarious. The spot above will be familiar to anyone who grew up in the ’90s as a spoof of the old Crossfire commercials that took a mechanical board game way too seriously. You’d probably be forgiven for noticing that the game, Steve Young Football, which is an over the top wacky version of the sport itself, actually has a feature where you can network two iPads together for multiplayer. Pretty cool.

The second spot, after the break, is just as hilarious, this time spoofing the old My Buddy commercials (oh man, the memories). Steve Young Football is available for $4.99 on the iPad, and just 99 cents on the iPhone, and no matter what the game is like, it’s pretty much worth giving them the buck for the entertainment you’ll get from these videos.
