Article introduction of Wulin.com (www.vevb.com): This article will try to chat about the present and future of HTML5 games, especially HTML5 games.
Although it has not been completed, HTM5 has been hyped up. Google has made HTML5-based LOGOs and demonstrations from time to time, which makes people itchy. Some classic games such as "Cutting the Rope" and "Gemstone Maze" have developed web-based games based on HTML5. In terms of mobile applications, web applications (Web Apps) can be used because they break through the environment and version restrictions of traditional native references (Native Apps), whether it is Android or iOS, as long as the browser supports it.
This article will try to chat about HTML5, especially the present and future of HTML5 games.
1. What is HTML5
It is recommended to go to Wikipedia before you understand it. Or listen to Xue Tianlu’s explanation on Zhihu:
Simply put, HTML5 is the fifth revision of the HTML standard and has not yet been completed. Its main goal is to semanticize the Internet so that it can be better read by humans and machines, and at the same time provide better support for the embedding of various media. The syntax of HTML5 is backward compatible.
But when it comes to HTML5, most developers are not just referring to this new standard, but (as Jeremy Keith said) doing anything cool (on the web) (playing cool online at will). The technologies and standards that require the use of making these cool things, in addition to the HTML5 standard, also include some new attributes of CSS3 and some new APIs.
OK, if so many concepts make you dizzy, then take a look at the picture below
Are you even more dizzy? Anyway, I am.
2. Google's HTML5 show
Google and Apple are the two giants promoting HTML5. In addition to launching HTML5ROCKS, a website that specializes in promoting HTML5, Google also has an HTML5 demonstration site (need to cross the wall). There are currently 12 demos, including 2 mobile demos.
In addition, Google often uses HTML5 to show off things that make you feel itchy, such as this permanently preserved super cool electric guitar logo that can be played.
Google also has many amazing tricks, such as:
1. Search let it snow, and the screen will start to snow, and you can still write after it becomes fog (this effect seems to be gone, maybe because spring is coming);
2. Search for tilt and the screen will tilt;
3. Search for do a barrel roll, the screen will roll;
4. Google gravity, everything falls and breaks, how to search?
3. HTML5 games
Compared with other applications, perhaps games are the most touching. In fact, many classic games have HTML5 web versions.
1. "Cut the Rope" web version
The classic rope cutting game now has a web version, and it is said that there are several hidden extra levels under IE9.
2. "Bejeweled" HTML5 online version
The classic Gem Maze game comes in SD and HD versions.
3. Command & Conquer Tiberium Alliances
EA's latest masterpiece in the "Command and Conquer" series is currently on the inside.
4. The prospects of Web App and the dispute between Native App
Compared with the PC version of HTML5 applications, HTML5 mobile applications are richer and more popular. Imagine playing games directly on your mobile browser, breaking through the limitations of iOS and different Android versions, and cross-platform mobile applications, how tempting.
Globally, the biggest successful case of Web App in commercial applications is Finance Time. It has exceeded one million users in just a few months, and its performance capabilities are comparable to the quality of Native App.
In China, Leiyou, a subsidiary of Innovation Works, has also launched the first mobile platform game based on HMTL5, "Empire of Dawn". Although it is relatively simple, it can also show its wide application prospects.
Regarding the issue of which is better and worse, there was a fierce debate some time ago. I agree with the statement of the article Native App and Web App that is purely nonsense (original link: Native vs Web Is Total Bullshit, translation here). Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and for a long time in the future, it should be shared.
Anyway, HTML5 is coming, are you ready?
