HTML5 BoulderDash

Apie

Still on the subject of exploring HTML5 games, the next game I chose to implement was a <canvas> version of the c64 classic Boulderdash. Boulderdash Anyone who owned a c64 back in the 80’s will likely have fond memories of the Boulderdash series of games. In fact they were so popular that there are a multitude of fan sites and remakes, even the original publisher First Star is still making commercial versions for todays mobile platforms. I highly recommend you go purchase one for your favorite device. I wanted to take a stab at making an HTML5 version, and found a huge amount of information on Martijn’s and Arno’s fan sites… including cave data and an actual specification! This wealth of information allowed me to put together a playable version of Boulderdash in just a couple of weekends
