Console Quality Cross Platform Canvas Games
summary
A console‑quality 2D game called Super Jetroid is built in three weeks with ImpactJS and common web APIs — Canvas, requestAnimationFrame, audio tag, and tweening — and it runs in desktop and mobile browsers and as a native Windows 8 app. It supports keyboard, touch and Xbox controller input, and the Windows build lets JavaScript call into C++ to access USB devices. ImpactJS is a paid $100 framework; the game works across targets without a large team.
