I recently started porting my native iOS game to HTML5. After Xcode/Objective-C, HTML5 development is just so refreshing for the 1) instant reload, 2) succinctness of Javascript. I'm kicking myself for not starting sooner.
Here's a link to my HTML5 game: http://noisytyping.com/NCT6745/index.html (work in progress!)
edit: I just realized I haven't put in a tutorial yet. It's an Arukone implementation: connect all number-pairs, and fill the grid.
It took me a tries to figure out how to play, but once I got it I liked it. Very nice gameplay, very clean, addictive.
I'd add a few basic instructions on page to get folks started, even something simple like "Use your mouse to draw a line between 2 numbers".
Ah, just saw your edit - perfect!
I'm definitely sold on HTML5. For the kind of games I want to make, there's no reason not to bypass native and put them on as many platforms as possible. A month ago I wouldn't have considered anything but native.
It probably works straight away in Chrome because requestAnimationFrame is defined.
Please let me know if this is still not working in your browser.
The page would move even from these links if your page was long enough to have a scroll.
(You can see it by shrinking the window all the way down until it gets a scroll)
I am honing my HTML5 skills, and this was very useful. I started playing with your code...
This is only my 2nd HTML5 game - and it was a blast to create. Best of luck to you, and don't hesitate to contact me when you get some code together. I'd like to help any way I can.
