on YouTube ↗25m

" summary

Shows an actual HTML5 game turned into a Firefox OS app: a runnable build, a manifest file, and the publish steps to Firefox Marketplace. Demonstrates which WebAPIs are usable (camera, fullscreen, offline storage, networking), the devtools and packaging workflow, and concrete runtime optimizations (asset compression, sprite atlases, requestAnimationFrame). Explains monetization as free‑to‑play plus IAPs and whether the packaged game runs on real devices and lands in the marketplace.
