well after playing with the language a little, i wondered something. why hasn''t anyone considered javascript as a simple 2D game programming language? AFAIK, the most you have to worry about is collision detection, as there is no double buffering to deal with. plus the "compiler" is the browser you''re using.
obviously i''m posting to learn about it more and get arguments about for and against it.
so AFAIK,
pros: no double buffering to deal with, animation is easier
cons: writing the actual code might be a little overwhelming
