Revised Tech Demo 2

This new techdemo fixes the load timing issues that were causing display problems in Firefox, IE and Opera.   Basically, the way those browsers handle the loading of HTML5 Canvases and images differed in a way that when it went to initially draw the layers, the layers images were blank.   I have a full mandatory preload of images now so that works much better.

The demo is here.

Composite C1 Package Server

Asynchronous Javascript and Web Sockets.   Hey, we all love Ajax but to every thing turn, turn and so on.

What is Hurricane Game Engine?

Hurricane Game Engine is an experimental HTML5 Canvas based game engine that is currently in the research and developement stage.   It seeks to deliver a fully functional set of tools for developers to design, build and manage an online, browser-based game.   In addition to the nuts and bolts required to render graphics to an HTML 5 Canvas, it will provide a backend server hosted on IIS that allows for game persistence, asset management and data storage.
