[gameprogrammer] Re: Browser games

a little unrelated...

i bet it would be possible to make a decent game with ajax and just
straight up css/html.

it wouldnt be 3d or anything but i bet you could do thigns as
complicated as a 2d overhead tiled game, and possibly a side scroller.

maybe you could do 3d too by having the server render the images?
maybe keep it wireframe?

but yeah - ajax could really be cool in making browser games
