Its nice!
But i think that using SVG to render or even DHTML you could get a more dynamic game with moves etc, but it looks nice still :p

@porf:

Canvas more closely represents game programming in a traditional environment (OpenGL, SDL, Java2D) while SVG/DHTML really is just DOM node manipulation. If the canvas and browser-side javascript was faster you would see all out RTS clones.
