Digg Attack: A Canvas Game

Category: Canvas, Fun, Games

<p>Fun news for a Friday. From Jacob Seidelin–the dude behind JavaScript Super Mario Brothers–comes Digg Attack, an original JavaScript game using <g;canvas> for visuals (and Flash for music).

As an added twist, the game uses Digg to provide a sort of unique twist; enemies in the game are based on stories in the Digg API feed and their ratings.

Another nail in the Flash/Silverlight Coffin

Just another example of the power of JavaScript to replace Flash in the web games market.
The future is just going to get brighter as JavaScript engines in browsers become faster and faster and more capable.

Go JavaScript games! WOOT!
