I'm very interested in HTML5, both from a web design perspective and for its potential in online games. Impressive demos have been appearing over the last few weeks.
Google showed the world a simple HTML5 game when it celebrated the anniversary of Pac-Man on its homepage. We see HTML5 can handle sprites, inputs, and sounds quite effectively.
Next is this demo of palette tricks done in HTML5. Many old games used this style of art because it is less demanding on computers (though it does take a very skilled pixel artist). I am thoroughly impressed.
Several HTML5 game libraries and engines are already in progress. Though I am currently making a heavy duty action game in C++, I think my future game projects will be simpler and done in HTML5.
