HTML5 is an evolution in web technologies and as that a great idea to write games in. The main reason is that you have all the benefits of the web and the fidelity of technology that you need. Furthermore, distribution and advertising of your products becomes dead easy.

1. The why of HTML5 for
games development

2. Shortly
before I
became a
developer...

3. A war was raging...
about the coolest toy!

4. Already built
and robust
but limited.

5. Building
blocks for
you to put
together.

6. Components
= flexibility

7. Bespoke development
gives you better
technology access?

12. Angry Birds

14. What the web already
does for Angry Birds...

15. What the web could do
for Angry Birds...
Multiplayer – one player builds fort with
pigs, other plays the bird.
Comments and hints
Voting and indexing levels by frustration
level (find me a simple level first)
Fan-built levels
Simple re-use across platforms

16. HTML5 brings higher
fidelity to the web...

17. ...without sacrificing its
core ideas and principles.

18. Viral and linked nature
of the web as a free add-
on.

19. Simple upgrades and
patches.

20. Easy re-use of code in
walled-off environments

21. And it gives you all the
docs for free!
