I've been working on moving away from flash for rendering the map and using HTML5 canvas instead. Why? Theres a few reasons:
1) Easier to extend. Flash doesn't have the greatest development environment. Having the map in HTML means it will be easier for me to enhance and update it. Would love to see it show up in other spots like a map generator or a game replay player. 2) Performance. It's a bit slower to be passing events to and from flash. Having it in HTML means its directly accessible from JavaScript. 3) iOS doesn't have flash. Kdice needs to be playable on iPad and maybe even iphone (need to also add responsive layouts so its not tiny) It's a work in progress and a lot of work at that. If you want to see where its at you can add ?canvas=1 to the URL (ie http://kdice.com?canvas=1). Don't expect to play a game with it though its currently just displaying the map. |

@DM: the community wouldn't notice a change from flash to html5 if it was working all right. HTML5 would be the standard and for flash you'd add ?canvas=2.... I am certain 95% wouldn't notice the change. |
