Sprite-based games with HTML5 Canvas

Cool!

But a full list of HTML5 gaming engines is better found here, with rankings by feature and price. Scirra's Construct 2 appears to be the current winner, at a basic price of GBP 79 and going up to GBP 259.

Javascript and HTML5 Canvas roundup

A foray into Google on the topic of HTML5 animation yielded (as always) some linkworthy material:

• Basic tunnel animation with moving random spheres.
• From the same site, a really nice set of presentation slides. The language is Volapük, if you're wondering.
• Some of the new HTML5 semantic tags. Wow!
• Alex the Alligator, a platform gamer ported to HTML5, based on the engine melonJS.
• Basic drawing with HTML5 Canvas.

Also there was doodle-js - a port-ish thing of ActionScript into HTML5 Canvas - but it seems to have vanished. Or at least its example pages did; the code is still on Github.

Article: The HTML5 Boom is Coming. Fast.

Well, this is good news: the desktop browser and mobile worlds are converging on HTML5 as their graphics platform of choice. Bye, Flash.
