Hi, I have a few questions about html5 game development and also chrome extensions.
I have made a few mini games in html5 using html, css and javascript by following a beginners html5 book. I feel that I just about have enough knowledge to make simple html5 games on my own, but intend on learning more. So my first questions are:
- Where is a good place to learn about html5 game development in general?
- Are there any good books that just focus on game development with html5?
- Also I have been writing my current projects in just javascript and jquery. Should I use a javascript game engine/library? Is a javascript engine similar to the way jquery works but with features to help with game development?
Secondly, I have very briefly looked at chrome browser extensions. I thought that in the future it would be a good idea to make some of these html5 mini-games into chrome extensions (Is it a good idea?) . However, I tried to load a simple html5 mini-game as a chrome extension and it loaded with just the html and css - no javascript or canvas. I am unsure why this is and could not find a solution on Google. Do chrome extensions not support html5 canvas? The projects runs fine just in a browser.
