My exploration of web programming continues, this is a rewrite of the wilderness game world from haxe/flash into javascript and html5 canvas. There are some plans to make this into something more resembling an actual game, but at the moment it’s serving as a good test as I get to grips with these new fangled bits and pieces.

Your browser does not support iframes.

Leaving out all the hot air about small companies beginning with “A”, here are my thoughts on canvas for making games compared with haxe/flash:

Pros:

Javascript is much nicer for me than Haxe due to dynamic typing and it’s comparative closeness to Scheme.

Immediate mode for graphics allows you to draw a scene how you want with your own containers. The retained mode MovieClip object in Flash is an annoyance for me. Hopefully similar things happen in web graphics as it did in 3D with the early DirectX retained mode, which was eventually abandoned.

I’ve started using Chrome for development – the javascript debugger is one of the best I’ve come across, and the Firefox one is pretty good too. When using haxe/flash I ended up completely relying on print statements.

It’s nicer to develop in a normal webpage rather than a plugin.

Cons:

Canvas is currently much much slower than Flash. It’s quite possible I’m doing something stupid, but the canvas version uses about 40% of my processor where as the flash version is 5-10%.

Less built in support for text and user interface items like entry dialogs. There is probably much more missing along these lines, and much that will need to be implemented from scratch. Personally speaking I am not too fond of library frameworks implemented by architecture astronauts, so I can live with this at the moment.

Scheme bricks was originally designed as a visual programming interface for functional reactive programming using frisbee – an experimental fluxus based game engine built on top of PLT’s FrTime language. I’ve ended up spending the last 18 months beta testing it in livecoding performances with slub using fluxa, culminating in the workshop last week.

This example is one of the “hello world” type scripts in fluxus, a recursive cube structure. It’s the first time I’ve tried this with scheme bricks. Having the interface in the same world as the rest of the objects opens up lots of possibilities, and enters the realm of IOhannes m zmölnig’s “do sinusoids dream of electric sweeps” performances in pure data – code could be written to modify the representation of itself.

Higher priority though, is to spend some time on making the interface itself easier to use :)
