Kyle Simpson gave a talk on building Javascript HTML5 Games. He show how he makes We Puzzle It!, a multi-player game that serves as a PoC demo for various advanced HTML5 Javascript APIs, socket.io and of cause Node.JS!
Are you tired of little toy examples for individual HTML5/JS features? Kyle Simpson is. So he set out to create a single app that weaves together all the most powerful JavaScript features of HTML5 (and friends!). What he built is a real-time, multi-player, cooperative/competitive game called “We Puzzle It!”.
This talk will show the code and motivations behind the game, illustrating practical uses for the various advanced HTML5 JavaScript APIs, Canvas, Drag & Drop, including WebSocket and using nodejs!
