Infos

HTML5 Gamesshows you how to combine HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript to make games for the web and mobiles - games that were previously only possible with plugin technologies like Flash. Using the latest open web technologies, you are guided through the process of creating a game from scratch using Canvas, HTML5 Audio, WebGL and WebSockets.

Inside, Jacob Seidelin shows you how features available in HTML5 can be used to create games. First, you will build a framework on which you will create your HTML5 game. Then each chapter covers a new aspect of the game including user input, sound, multiplayer functionality, 2D and 3D graphics and more. By the end of the book, you will have created a fully functional game that can be played in any compatible browser, or on any mobile device that supports HTML5.

Topics include:

* Dealing with backwards compatibility

* Generating level data

* Making iOS and Android web apps

* Taking your game offline

* Using Web Workers

* Persistent Game Data

* Drawing with Canvas

* Capturing player input

* Creating 3D graphics with WebGL

* Textures and lighting

* Sound with HTML5 Audio

And more...
