Command and Conquer – Programming an RTS game in HTML5 and Javascript

I would advise you to stop working on this project immediately, and instead focus your efforts on creating a game with original game content. EA owns the trademarks and copyright to the material.<p>You'll be much better off by starting your own project, instead of cloning a commercial product. Yes, the source code of command and conquer might have been released by EA, but EA still owns the trademaks.<p>(speaking as someone who as tried recreating a popular turn based strategy game using HTML5..)

Isn't it strange that we are celebrating being able to build things made 20 years ago, but in the browser?<p>I can imagine someone in 2032 posting somewhere: "Hey! I ported Crysis to the XXX " Being XXX = an Augmented Reality 3D Browser or what comes next in 20 years from now.<p>Just a thought.

C&#38;C is not the "grandaddy" of RTS. Dune 2 is.

ea is making the same thing. <a href="http://www.ea.com/tiberium-alliances" rel="nofollow">http://www.ea.com/tiberium-alliances</a><p>Command and Conquer Tiberium Alliances brings the battle to your browser in this epic strategy MMO.

i'd suggest using Git properly instead of making a new copy of the main JS file with every version:<p><a href="https://github.com/adityaravishankar/command-and-conquer/tree/master/js" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/adityaravishankar/command-and-conquer/tre...</a><p>it would also be nice if you separated out the code into functional modules (as opposed to event functions) so that parts can be reused. I was interested in checking out your selection code since I implemented my own recently.<p>better modules and functional separation would also make it easier for others to understand and contribute to the code.<p>Not taking anything away from an awesome demo, just some suggestions.

Great effort! Still a couple of comments: As already mentioned C&#38;C is not the originator of this genre. Wikipedia has a decent article on this:<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_strategy" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_strategy</a><p>Also please don't use a black background. The dark blue links are really hard to see clearly!

I'm on Mac OS X Lion and Firefox. I lost my cursor after I loaded this page. So now, when Firefox (any firefox window) is active my cursor disappears. It returns when I make some other app active. This sometimes happens on Chrome and Flickr, so I wonder if there is some HTML5 thing that is buggy for FF and Chrome?<p>Any one else with this issue?

Very interesting. These games in the browser will change the world for gamers.
