Hardware accelerated HTML5 Canvas has arrived! Recent releases of Chrome, iOS5, and Apple's Safari on Lion all have hardware accelerated Canvas, and it makes a huge difference in performance.
Hardware accelerated Canvas makes it possible to implement full-featured video games that run smoothly, not only in desktop browsers, but also on tablets.
In this talk, you will see how to implement a sidescroller video game (ala Mario Bros.), complete with scrolling background, parallax, sprites, collision detection and explosions, that runs at a rock solid 60 frames/second... on an iPad.
