I love participating in game jams. For those who haven't heard, a game jam is an event where you have a limited number of time (maybe 48 or 72 hours) to develop a game. One of my favorites to participate in is Ludum Dare. This past LD, I used HTML5 to develop my game. It was the first major project in which I used Javascript and Canvas, and the code could've been better, but I managed to quickly develop and prototype a game I'm proud of within 72 hours[1]. The biggest issue with HTML5 isn't the speed of development, but rather the fact that it's not a mature technology yet. I still haven't ironed out some issues with sound and resource loading that works consistently between Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.
