JavaScript/HTML 5 Gaming? 201

cjcela writes "Lately I've seen some HTML 5/JavaScript games popping up on the web. Most of them lack sound, and are not polished, but little by little this is changing. As an example, check Galactic Plunder. While it is only a single-level proof of concept, it is one of the first arcade non-Flash games that I've found playable. Do you know of other comparable or better pure JavaScript games?"

    1) I said websites, flash websites are more expensive than normal websites.

    2) HTML can be ugly, but to add content you only need a text editor. Even the most ugly website can be edited and added content with a simple text editor. I can't say that for flash websites, most of then have the .fla files lost, and where designed statically. To change these, you probably need a hex editor...

    3) "scrollbar what?". You sure know what is a scrollbar. Flash designers know what a scrollbar, even re-invent it. Most flash websites seems designed to work like frames websited to avoid the scrollbar. Embrace the scrollbar!, is great, and your mouse have a mouse whell for it!.

    I'm sure the complete lack of a decent development environment has something to do with it too.
