Hi,
A friend of me and I want to start a nice browser game. We are testing some technologies right now for the user interface. I'm testing if what we want to do can be done in jQuery and HTML5 (which would be the first choice, if it works).
Here is an example of what I did so far
http://nino-net.org/TestHTML5/
The speed is too high of course. It's our goal to rebuild our star system, but everything is 100x faster. (which means 3.6 days for the earth to go around the sun). Maybe the problems with too much CPU usage will all be gone in the and, as the reload cycle will be a lot slower in the end. What do you think of performance, can something like that be done in jQuery and HTML5? Is there maybe a problem in my code? any suggestions?
In the end there will also be moons orbiting the planets, and maybe (we are not sure about that yet) we will create orbiting satellites and space stations. Zooming will also be necessary, and the circles will be replaced by vector graphics. Do you think this will still be possible? Anyone tried something similar?
Oh and as you can see, I'm pretty new to jQuery. Are there any better ways implemented by jQuery to build objects, or to create functions? Am I using it right so far?  |
